Download or read book Introductory Nuclear Reactor Statics written by Karl Otto Ott and published by Amer Nuclear Society. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition spells out a systematic mathematical approach to nuclear statics that is used as the basis for most practical calculations. A good understanding of the way nuclear reactors are described in mathematical theory is important in performing typical nuclear engineering tasks such as defining reactor problems, evaluating the results, and judging possible deficiencies in approaches. Recommended as a textbook and also useful as a source book for reactor analysis and design, this book presents the mathematical foundation for the advanced treatment of the steady-state behavior of all types of nuclear reactors. Each chapter concludes with homework problems and review questions.
