This note will cover a range
of topics pertinent to nuclear engineering, including particle physics, neutron
theory, nuclear reactor design, medical applications, societal impacts of
nuclear power. Major topics covered includes: Special Relativity,
Schroedinger's Wave Equation, Nuclear Models, Nuclear Decay Kinetics, Binary
Nuclear Reactions, Fission and Fusion, Radiation, Nuclear Reactor Theory: Six
Factor Formula, Reactor Design, Reactor Kinetics, Neutron Transport, Light Water
Reactors, The Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Radiation Detection and Measurement, Nuclear
Materials, Radiation Doses, Nuclear Reactor Safety and Nuclear Accidents.
The
Nuclear Physics and Reactor Theory Handbook was developed to assist nuclear
facility operating contractors in providing operators, maintenance personnel,
and the technical staff with the necessary. Topics covered includes: Atomic
Nature Of Matter, Chart Of The Nuclides, Mass Defect And Binding Energy, Modes
Of Radioactive Decay, Radioactivity, Neutron Interactions, Energy Release From
Fission, Interaction Of Radiation With Matter.
This book covers
the following topics: Nuclear masses, Rms charge radii, Charge densities and
form factors, Overview of nuclear decays, The Fermi gas model, Overview of the
nuclear shell model, The one body potential, Woods-Saxon potential, Many Body
Wavefunctions, Two-Body Hamiltonian, Configuration mixing, One body transition
operators and the OBTD, Electromagnetic transitions and allowed beta decay.
This
book gives an elementary but coherent account of that branch of physics involved
in the study and design of nuclear reactors at a standard presentation judged to
be suitable for advanced undergraduate students.
This
book covers the following topics:the 184-inch synchrocyclotron, Principle of operation of a conventional
cyclotron, The principle of phase stability, Design and construction of the
184-inch synchrocyclotron and Cyclotron experiments.
