Nuclear Energy: An Introduction to the Concepts, Systems, and Applications of Nuclear Processes, Ninth Edition provides essential information on basic nuclear physics, systems, and the applications of nuclear energy. It comprehensively covers Basic Concepts, Radiation and Its Uses, and Nuclear Power, providing students with a broad view of nuclear energy and science in a fast-paced format that features updated, timely content on topics of new and growing importance to current and future nuclear professionals, such small modular reactors (SMRs). This book is an essential resource for any first course on nuclear energy and systems.

Contains expanded coverage of newer reactor designs, such as small modular reactors (SMRs), molten salt-fueled and salt-cooled reactors, microreactors, and accelerator-driven subcritical (ADS) reactors
Climate change content from previous editions has been updated and incorporated throughout the book to reflect its growing importance
Provides a new chapter on Nonproliferation, Security, and Safeguards
Includes more worked examples and end of chapter exercises throughout

Nuclear Engineering Department, North Carolina State University, USA (deceased) Keith Holbert is the founding director of the nuclear power generation program and an associate professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. He joined the ASU faculty in 1989 after earning his doctorate in nuclear engineering from the University of Tennessee. His research expertise is in instrumentation and system diagnostics including radiation effects on sensors. Holbert has performed tests on safety-related systems in more than a dozen nuclear power plants in the United States. He has published more than 200 journal and conference papers, two textbooks and holds one patent. Holbert is a registered professional (nuclear) engineer. He is a member of the American Nuclear Society and a Senior Member of the IEEE. Holbert teaches undergraduate and graduate engineering courses on electric power generation (from all forms of energy), nuclear reactor theory and design, nuclear power plant controls and diagnostics, reactor safety analysis, and health physics and radiation measurements. He has been the recipient of multiple teaching awards.
