N2  - This textbook provides a thoroughly modern alternative to other introductory Nuclear Engineering textbooks that have not been updated significantly over the last 20 years. Printed in full color, this textbook combines an accessible, student-friendly overview of nuclear physics, nuclear reactor design, thermal-hydraulic systems, fuel cycles, safety, and computational methods. To convey the evolution of nuclear science and engineering, historical and biographical features are interwoven throughout the text, and brought to life through portraits, photographs, and other illustrations. Nuclear reactor designs, including the most recent examples, are analyzed and compared in detail, and the role of internet tools in analysis and design is explored. The text follows a well-structured pedagogical approach, based on careful, consistent explanation and topic development, which is supported by numerous color images, key equations, worked examples, lists of key web links for research, short answer questions, and a wealth of chapter problems
