Nuclear Reactor Engineering (3rd Edition): Volume I - Nuclear Engineering Fundamentals

By Bahram Nassersharif Ph.D.

This authoritative and extensively revised third edition offers a rigorous foundation in nuclear engineering, uniting conceptual depth with applied analysis. Spanning atomic and nuclear physics, neutron interactions, diffusion theory, reactivity control, and the classification of modern reactor designs, the book systematically prepares students and professionals to master the principles and practices that govern nuclear systems.

With 76 example problems embedded throughout the text and 242 fully solved problems at the end of each chapter, the volume supports structured learning and reinforces critical thinking. These problems span fundamental derivations to design-oriented challenges, making the book ideal for both classroom instruction and independent study.

Intended for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and practitioners, this volume is particularly well suited for nuclear science and engineering curricula and those preparing for careers in power generation, defense, space propulsion, or regulatory policy. The coverage of Generation IV technologies and Small Modular Reactors positions this text at the forefront of the evolving nuclear landscape.
