Nuclear Systems Volume 2

This text provides broad subject-area coverage, application of theory to practical aspects of commercial nuclear power, and use of instructional objectives. Like the first volume, it focuses on what distinguishes nuclear engineering from other engineering disciplines. The book includes descriptions of reactor designs and fuel-cycle steps and emphasizes reactor safety, especially related to technical and management lessons learned from the TMI-2 and Chernobyl-4 accidents. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
