Dieses Werk über Kernreaktorphysik wurde für die Neuauflage überarbeitet, korrigiert und erweitert. Mehr Informationen erwarten den Leser jetzt zur Wiederaufarbeitung von Kernbrennstoffen, zu Reaktoren der gegenwärtig erprobten Generation IV, zur Reaktoranalyse (auch computergestützt) und zur Transporttheorie. In den Anhängen D und F werden die Laplace-Transformation und Besselfunktionen ausführlicher erklärt.
