 Rating: - Contains Excellent Information And Several DistractionsFirst, the caveat to my review: I am probably unique among the reviewers of this book in that I am not a nuclear engineer. I have a strong educational and professional background in chemistry, physics, and math, and have been working on projects involving engineered safety systems and risk management in other technologically advanced industries. I have recently become involved in talks with representatives from the nuclear industry. For my own preparation I undertook the long hard slog through the ...

Overall, I recommend this book to someone who is new to the nuclear engineering field and is uncertain where ... Read More Rating: - Nice. Book is new as said. Fast.Nice. Book is new as said. Fast.
