This revised edition presents a detailed description of the entire nuclear fuel cycle from production to use in a reactor to final disposal, as well as a general review of reactor physics, radioactive waste management, and the economics and environmental effects of nuclear power.
Based on nuclear fuel cycle courses taught by the authors, this volume is intended to serve both as a text for senior- and graduate-level students and as a valuable reference for practicing engineers in the nuclear field. It includes the latest data, techniques, computing methods, and regulations, as well as extensive reference lists, bibliographies, numerical examples, and problems for student assignments.
