Nuclear Principles in Engineering

Nuclear engineering plays an important role in various industrial, health care, and energy processes. Modern physics has generated its fundamental principles. A growing number of students and practicing engineers need updated material to access the technical language and content of nuclear principles.

Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and illustrative computer applications, Tatjana Jevremovic covers nuclear principles as they relate to:

Nuclear power
Nuclear imaging
Aerospace and propulsion engineering
Power production propulsion
Electric generators for space applications
Diagnostics and treatment in medicine
Homeland security
Health physics
Radiation treatment and imaging
Radiation shielding systems

"Nuclear Principles in Engineering, Second Edition" is written for students, engineers, physicians and scientists who need up-to-date information in basic nuclear concepts and calculation methods.
