NUCLEAR ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS is the most modern, up-to-date, and student friendly nuclear engineering PDF etextbook on the market today. It provides a thoroughly modern alternative to classical nuclear engineering etextbooks that have not been updated over the last twenty years or so. Printed in full color, it conveys a sense of awesomeness and wonder to anyone interested in the field of nuclear energy. It discusses nuclear fuel cycles, reactor thermal-hydraulics, nuclear reactor design, reactor safety, reactor operation, radiation detection and protection, and the interaction of radiation with matter. It presents an in-depth introduction to the science of nuclear energy production, the nuclear chain reaction, nuclear power, nuclear cross sections, radioactivity, and radiation transport. All major types of reactors are introduced and discussed, and the role of internet tools in their analysis and design is explored. Reactor safety and reactor containment systems are explored in the ebook as well.

To convey the evolution of nuclear science and engineering, historical figures and their contributions to evolution of the nuclear power industry are explored in depth. Numerous real examples are provided throughout the ebook, and are brought to life through life-like photographs, portraits, and colorful illustrations. The ebook follows a well-structured pedagogical approach, and provides a wide range of student learning features not available in other textbooks including useful equations, numerous real worked examples, and lists of key web resources. As a bonus, a complete Solutions Manual and .PDF slides of all figures are available to qualified instructors who adopt the text (sold separately). More than any other fundamentals ebook in a generation, it is student-friendly, and truly impressive in its design and its scope. It can be used for a 1 semester, a 2 semester, or a 3 semester course in the fundamentals of nuclear power. It can also serve as a great reference book for practicing nuclear scientists and engineers. To date, it has achieved the highest overall satisfaction of any mainstream nuclear engineering etextbook available on the market today.
