Sustainable and Safe Nuclear Fission Energy

• Nuclear reactors operating in the world by 2010.- Reactor physics needed for understanding of fission reactors.- Nuclear fuel supply.- Uranium enrichment.- Fission reactors with thermal neutron spectrum.- Breeder reactors with fast neutron spectrum.

From the reviews: "Kessler, a reactor physics and safety specialist based in Germany, thoroughly covers the subject of nuclear fission energy, including up-to-date developments worldwide, the fuel supply chain, the physics of different types of reactors, and a detailed discussion on safety with a major focus on light water reactors. ... This comprehensive book, part of Springer's 'Power Systems' series, is useful to advanced students, researchers, and professionals in nuclear energy. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (M. Alam, Choice, Vol. 50 (11), August, 2013)
