Mechanical, nuclear, chemical and materials engineering undergraduates. Working engineers in mechanical, nuclear and materials fields; professionals in power-generation, medical diagnostics, and radiology industries
I already purchased the hardcopy of this text and decided to use it as the basis for the nuclear section of my new course. The book explained things in a clear and well structured way that was suitable for engineers (not-physicists) to understand the concepts and undertake some analysis of nuclear power systems.
This is a great book on Nuclear Engineering introduction
