Introduction to Nuclear Engineering

by John R. Lamarsh, Anthony Baratta

Offering the most current and complete introduction to nuclear engineering available, this book contains new information on French, Russian, and Japanese nuclear reactors. All units have been revised to reflect current standards. Includes discussions of new reactor types including the AP600, ABWR, and SBWR as well as an extensive section on non-US design reactors; the nuclear Navy and its impact on the development of nuclear energy; binding energy and such topics as the semi-empirical mass formula and elementary quantum mechanics; and solutions to the diffusion equation and a more general derivation of the point kinetics equation. Topics in reactor safety include a complete discussion of the Chernobyl accident and an updated section on TMI and the use of computer codes in safety analysis. For nuclear engineers.

This intro to Nuclear Engineering text provides a solid first step for beginning students. Newer edition is available but I cut my teeth on this one.

اهم كتاب في هندسة نووية و الابسط في اسلوب الشرح في وجهة نظري

[CeeJay Lovejoy]

One of the best books for introducing the concept of nuclear reactor engineering and safety.

[Syavash Kazemi Neira]

A classic book for an introduction to Nuclear Engineering. If you are taking an introductory course to Nuclear Energy generation or such, this is an excellent source.

[Crystal Swafford]

Apparently there aren’t many nuclear engineering textbooks. This one has nice narrative and covers good topics, but I found the instructor’s lectures more helpful than just reading this book. This book is a good reference though.

[Ayhan Okçal]

The book follows a logical approach to the nucleus and nuclear interactions, and the key concepts are explained fully. It's very easy to follow through the examples.

يلعن ميتين ام لامارش كان بيطلعلي في احلامي

[Peter Selato]

The textbook was an excellent introduction to Nuclear Engineering for me. The book covers topics such as atomic and nuclear physics, nuclear reactors and nuclear power, neutron diffusion and moderation, nuclear reactor theory, and reactor licensing and safety.

নিউক্লিয়ার ইঞ্জিনিয়ারিং এর ছাত্রদের জন্য অবশ্যপাঠ্য একটি বই। অতি জটিল জিনিসের খুব সহজ করে ব্যাখ্যা দেয়া আছে।

I had to read this for a course so why not include it on goodreads

GT Barnes & Noble, 2009-01-1x. Man, nuclear engineering textbooks are pretty broadly crappy. This seems the brightest light among a dim bunch, although I'm hardly authoritative in this field (yet). Good coverage of radiobiological effects and disaster-handling (with some fantastic deadpan comments strewn about these sections). Weaker coverage of power production and reactor physics.

wonderful book for nuclear engineers ..

[Amit Kumar]

i want to read this book.

slayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Fantastic introductory textbook covering everything from basic physics and radioactivity concepts to the reactor physics theory, single and two-phase heat transfer, safety and licensing procedures.

Older editions are in non-SI units.
