Chapter 1: Nuclear Engineering Analysis

Nuclear engineering analysis is a very broad subject title. Nuclear engineering and medical physics are disciplines that are ultimately very applied; while the “pure sciences” are often afforded the luxury of only considering hypothetical problems, nuclear engineers must respond to delivering real engineering systems to benefit humanity, e.g. providing nuclear power, advanced imaging devices, curing cancer, and the like. Therefore, nuclear engineers must design systems and devices that are based on nuclear interactions using subatomic particles that are not detectable by the ordinary human senses…
