Introduction to Nuclear Engineering

I was very glad not to have to miss any homework assignments; the book arrived on time and in pristine condition. Thank you.

I have studied the most important chapters of the book "Introduction to Nuclear Engineering". It is more than an introduction. I found the book to be a very good one for someone with some fundamental knowledge of nuclear technology. When I started the reading of the book, I had some knowledge already. The book helped me to go deeper into the nuclear subject. I found the example problems to be very good. I really recommend this book. I did not find that many typos as other reviewers claim.

Excellent reference text for nuclear engineering undergrads. Book not limited to neutronics coverage, goes a bit into radiation protection, and other essential topics that are a must read for any serious reader.

This is the best introductory book in nuclear engineering I have ever encountered in my life. The late professor John Lamarsh had the unique ability to convey information to his students in an unbelievably straight forward manner. This book reflects his teaching approach, completely. If you are studying nuclear engineering it should be your first stop.If you are a (non-nuclear) engineering professional or student and really need to communicate with nuclear engineers or comprehend concepts of nuclear applications you have to study this book. Finally, if you are preparing for your qualifying examinations, it is an absolute must.The book is a masterpiece of pedagogical methodology in nuclear engineering. It will make you feel comfortable with the intricacies of nuclear reactor theory, within a short period of time. In addition, you will be introduced to solid thermodynamic concepts that are coupled to reactor theory. Equal teaching importance is given to nuclear licensing, radiation physics, and shielding.Essentially, this book covers the whole spectrum of basic nuclear engineering.

A great book to self-teach nuclear engineering. Oriented to the advanced student of physics, or the engineer. Starts with a review of particle physics and modern physic basics, ending in the design of nuclear reactors, safety procedures and effects of radiation on living organisms.
