Nuclear Reactor Physics
Nuclear Reactor Physics by Shigeaki Okajima, published by Springer Japan on December 27, 2024, is a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of nuclear reactor physics. This 316-page book explores essential topics such as nuclear reactions with neutrons, nuclear fission chain reactions, and criticality concepts, providing a solid foundation for readers interested in the field. The text is presented in English and is designed to be accessible to both engineers and university students.
Readers will find a blend of elementary descriptions and mathematical expressions, including approximations, derivations, and analytical solutions that facilitate an understanding of nuclear reactor physics. The chapters cover a range of subjects, from neutron moderation to heterogeneity effects in neutronics, making it a valuable resource for those studying technology and engineering related to nuclear power resources and physics. This edition is part of the series An Advanced Course in Nuclear Engineering, aimed at providing a clear introduction to this core discipline.
Official synopsis Publisher
This book covers introductory subjects including fundamental principles of nuclear reactions with neutrons, fundamentals of nuclear fission chain reactions, basic concepts of criticality, and static characteristics based on diffusion approximation in neutron transport. The chapters address topics ranging from neutron moderation from fission to thermal energy ranges and heterogeneity effects in neutronics.
Readers will find elementary and qualitative descriptions and also mathematical expressions including approximations, derivations and analytical solutions for an understanding of the basic principles of nuclear reactor physics.
This book is part of a series entitled An Advanced Course in Nuclear Engineering and provides an accessible introduction to the core discipline of nuclear engineering: nuclear reactor physics. It will therefore appeal to engineers in nuclear engineering as well as to university students and others seeking to learn entry-level reactor physics.
