DESCRIPTION:
However, during the past three decades, the nuclear industry and university educational programs have matured considerably, presenting some challenges in meeting the objec tives of this book. Previous editions of this book were intended to serve as a text for students and a reference for practicing engineers. This, the Fourth Edition, was prepared with these same general objectives in mind. Nuclear power reactors have become much more complex, with an ac companying growth in supporting technology. Emphasis was given to the broad perspective, particularly for topics important to reactor design and oper ation, with basic coverage provided in such supporting areas as neutronics, thermal-hydraulics, and materials. Samuel Glasstone, the senior author of the previous editions of this book, was anxious to live until his ninetieth birthday, but passed away in 1986, a few months short of this milestone. Finally, the general availability of inexpensive xv xvi Preface powerful micro-and minicomputers has transformed design and analysis procedures so that sophisticated methods are now commonly used instead of earlier, more approximate approaches.. Dr. University programs now offer separate courses covering such basic topics as reactor physics, thermal hydraulics, and materials. I am grateful for the many years of stimulation received during our association, and in preparing this edition have attempted to maintain his
Correct coverwrong book! Krista and Ryan This book was in perfect condition. While the cover is correct (Nuclear Reactor Engineering Reactor Systems Engineering), the entire book inside is incorrect. The inside text is a textbook called Approximation Algorithms by Vijay Vazirani. Very disappointed in this purchase as this textbook was needed for coursework.. Good general reference for nuclear reactor design. This is a good general reference work regarding nuclear reactor engineering and design, aimed mainly at undergrad. and graduate students in nuclear engineering but also useful to engineerings and physical engineers working with extant reactors. The authors and editors do a good job of covering advances in systems control and related areas up to the 199Good general reference for nuclear reactor design.

Dr. Dheya Al-othmany said Great book written by Physical chemist and Engineer.. Review of the Great book written by Physical chemist and Engineer. Review of the 3rd Edition,The book is considered one of the great text books and references in the Nuclear field, although it has been written by a Physical Chemist and Chemical Engineer expert from Manhatten project. Both authors had long relations with the U.S. Department of energy. The book stressess more on the mathematical modeling and solutions more than the engineering aspects in the Nuclear Engineering. It's language is of high standard which . rd Edition,The book is considered one of the great text books and references in the Nuclear field, although it has been written by a Physical Chemist and Chemical Engineer expert from Manhatten project.
