This volume provides nuclear engineers, plant designers and radiation physicists with a comprehensive overview of nuclear energy and its uses, and discusses potential problems and the outlook for the future. As well as functioning as a tool to train and educate future professionals, this book is expected to be helpful to scientists and engineers in non-nuclear but related fields.

A new feature - Computer Exercises - has been added, intended to enhance the appreciation of effects, trends and magnitudes, although each type of program demands a minimum of expertise in computer programming.

Nuclear Engineering Department, North Carolina State University, USA (deceased)
