A classic textbook for an introductory course in nuclear reactor
analysis that introduces the nuclear engineering student to the
basic scientific principles of nuclear fission chain reactions and
lays a foundation for the subsequent application of these
principles to the nuclear design and analysis of reactor
cores. This text introduces the student to the fundamental
principles governing nuclear fission chain reactions in a manner
that renders the transition to practical nuclear reactor design
methods most natural. The authors stress throughout the very
close interplay between the nuclear analysis of a reactor core and
those nonnuclear aspects of core analysis, such as thermalhydrolics
or materials studies, which play a major role in determining a
reactor design.
