Several emerging application areas are driving a revival in nuclear engineering, including new nuclear reactor designs (advanced water-cooled reactors, small modular reactors, and microreactors) and their various applications beyond electricity production and a revolution in nuclear medicine, nuclear space exploration, hydrogen production, and homeland security. This fully updated introductory textbook provides students and practitioners with the fundamentals of nuclear principles in engineering for a thorough understanding of physical processes relating to neutron physics, nuclear structures, and radiation interactions. To comprehend physical phenomena, hands-on computational exercises supported by mathematical details and real-life examples are provided to communicate the nuclear principles concepts. A new chapter details the evolution of nuclear power plants, explaining the modern-day technologies based on design details linked to the basic principles of nuclear engineering. In addition, every chapter is supplied with the problems solutions and answers.
Nuclear Principles in Engineering, Third Edition, is written for students, engineers, physicists, and scientists who need up-to-date information on basic nuclear concepts and calculation methods, and will serve as an invaluable resource for training programs in the nuclear sector.
Tatjana Jevremovic, Ph.D., is team leader for Water Cooled Reactor Technology Development in the Nuclear Power Technology Development Section of the Division of Nuclear Energy at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). She also serves as a Chair of the Technical Selection Committee of the IAEA Marie Curie-Sklodowska Fellowship Programme (MSCFP) aimed at encouraging women to continue their education in graduate-level nuclear-related programs. She has extensive experience in nuclear research and development, and management of complex projects associated with nuclear power and advanced technologies, research reactors, and nuclear medicine. Dr. Jevremovic received her BS and MS degrees in nuclear engineering at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, and worked as a project manager in Energoprojekt Co., in Belgrade. From 1990 she spent 11 years in Japan where she first received her Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in nuclear engineering and then spent an additional two years as a professor. From 1996 she worked as Chief Engineer with Nuclear Fuel Industries, Ltd. where she developed a novel methodology for nuclear reactor physics assessments. In 2001, she relocated to Purdue University and in 2009 she moved to the University of Utah where she held the prestigious position of Chair Professor and was head of the Nuclear Engineering Program and the Director of the nuclear engineering facility. She has published over 200 papers in journals and conferences. She serves on many committees nationally and internationally.
