      Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences

      The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

      DOE tags Los Alamos to lead $9.25 million molten salt computational research program

      The Department of Energy has chosen Los Alamos National Laboratory to lead a $9.25 million collaborative project to model the behavior and properties of structural materials in molten salt through the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program and announced the news August 9. The team working on the five-year project includes experts from LANL; Carnegie Mellon University; and Idaho, Lawrence Berkeley, and Sandia national laboratories.

Description

This reprinted edition of the popular textbook by John Lamarsh – a pioneer in nuclear reactor theory education – still serves as an excellent introduction to nuclear reactor theory. The book aims to provide students with an understanding of the fundamental physical principles underlying the operation of a nuclear reactor.  The selection and processing of nuclear data, especially cross-section data, is the starting point for many reactor calculations, and it is important for the nuclear engineer to be able to interpret and use such data correctly. These data and the physical processes from which they stem are discussed in the first portion of this book. Time-dependent problems of reactor kinetics are then analyzed, and the book concludes with sections on control rods and perturbation theory. Included in the book are a number of problems at the end of each chapter.
  
This paperback edition is a scanned version of the original hardcover book.
