Dynamics of Nuclear Reactors

by David L. Hetrick

This is a nuclear reactor dynamics textbook suitable for undergraduate seniors and graduate students in science and engineering. The topic of reactor dynamics, particularly in the form necessary to understand the computation that occurs both in control system analysis and safety analysis, was treated only incompletely in previous texts and is given complete attention here. One of the book's important features is that it bridges the gap between the viewpoints of the reactor physicist and the control engineer. It brings them together in such a way that the reader will be able to communicate in the language of either persuasion, and more importantly, communicate between them.

I tried to use this book for my nuclear reactor dynamics and kinetics class. It was a little too focused on control theory to really reach nuclear engineering graduate students.
