Explores radiation sources, including fast electron sources, heavy charged particle sources, and neutron sources, covering processes like beta decay, internal conversion, and Auger electrons.
Introduces the fundamental concepts of reactor kinetics in nuclear engineering, covering neutron behavior, critical conditions, and reactor control mechanisms.
Analyzes the total cross section data for nuclear fission, covering energy dependence, transport, reactions, uncertainties, fission fragments, and radiological hazards.
Explores breeding and liquid metal fast reactors, focusing on the challenges of managing plutonium, transmutation to reduce nuclear waste, and the use of liquid metal cooling for reactor efficiency and safety.
