Introduction to Nuclear Engineering (3rd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Series in Nuclear Science and Engineering)

I have used this book effectively for the past three years of my Nuclear Engineering Graduate degree and have a fond place for it in my heart. Admittedly there are better texts out there and the book has many typos and errors, but the advantage it has is the text is written so straight forward and plainly that most, if not all of the errors, can be found readily by the reader.

Overall, I recommend this book to someone who is new to the nuclear engineering field and is uncertain where to start with his or her study of the subject. Once the foundation has been laid by the material presented in this text the reader is ready to pursue other books, which may be more accurate, but not nearly as clear in their presentation of concepts. (such as Duderstadt and Hamilton.)

Nice. Book is new as said. Fast. Thanks for being a good seller.

I recieved the book in excellent condition. I would definately purchase from this company in the future and recommend that you do the same.

I have read a few of these reviews and what I noticed is that mostly STUDENTS are having a problem in understanding. This book maybe good for professors but it's not clear in deleivering the concepts to the students! 3rd EDITION?! The author needs to let students give feedback. When I used this book we NEVER WENT IN ORDER of the chapters. We always skipped around... if it's so good, why must we always reference other materials?

As the prior reviewer stated, this book is awful. Saying that the book is full of typos isn't even a correct statement; saying that the book is bloated beyond belief of typos would be more correct. What's even worse, is that the same editions of the book have DIFFERENT typos. For example, my classmate would have an error in say, Fick's Law of Diffusion for One-Speed Neutrons, but my book would have the equation listed perfectly. And they would be the EXACT same edition of the book! It's ridulous. I'm honestly glad that I'm done using this book, because I never, ever want to see it again.
