This textbook is a reprint of the second edition originally published in 1992. It provides broad subject-area coverage, application of theory to practical aspects of commercial nuclear power, and use of instructional objectives. It focuses on what distinguishes nuclear engineering from the other engineering disciplines. It also seeks to unravel key acronyms and other terminology, including occasional historical examples where the jargon has outlived the viability of underlying concepts.
