Covers all pertinent aspects of nuclear engineering, including fundamentals of nuclear and reactor physics, fuel engineering, thermal hydraulics, reactor safety, health physics and radiation protection Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering is derived from over 25 years of teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on nuclear engineering. The material has been extensively class tested and provides the most comprehensive textbook and reference on the fundamentals of nuclear engineering. It includes a broad range of important areas in the nuclear engineering field: nuclear and atomic theory; nuclear reactor physics, design, control/dynamics, safety and thermal hydraulics; nuclear fuel engineering; and health physics/radiation protection. It also includes the latest information that is missing in traditional texts, such as space radiation. The aim of the book is to provide a source for upper level undergraduate and graduate students studying nuclear engineering. * Focuses on applied nuclear and atomic theory as well as traditional introductory reactor theory, design and operation with a chapter on reactor safety describing all major reactor accidents in the world. * Includes novel work on nuclear fuel fabrication, fuel chemistry, performance and management as well as severe fuel damage phenomena. * Covers the CANDU Reactor; Light Water Reactors (LWRs), Small Nuclear Power Reactors (SMRs), Advanced Nuclear Power Reactors, and Generation IV Designs. * Nine Appendices of relevant nuclear and reactor physics data, and fundamental constants. * Exercises and problems are presented at the end of each chapter.
