Murray and Holbert's Nuclear Energy, first published in 1975, remains one of the most popular texts ever published on basic nuclear physics, systems, and applications of nuclear energy. The book is divided into three parts: Basic Concepts, Radiation and Its Uses, and Nuclear Power; providing students with a broad view of nuclear energy and science in a fast-paced, easily accessible manner. The book features updated, timely content on topics of new and growing importance to current and future nuclear professionals, such as tritium-powered betavoltaic integrated circuit chips, modulation of radioactive decay constant due to solar activity, Monte Carlo radiation transport calculations and accelerator-driven systems. Enhanced with additional worked examples and end-of-chapter exercises, Nuclear Energy is the essential resource for any first course on nuclear energy and systems.

The Eighth Edition has been updated throughout with coverage of such timely topics as the connection between hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and radioactivity, nuclear forensics, the TerraPower traveling wave reactor, the first ever FDA approved drug for the treatment of acute radiation injury, and more
Describes the industry response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, including FLEX in the US
Includes more worked examples and end of chapter exercises
