What are the top post graduate books for nuclear engineering?

In summary: Check out the Nucleonica nuclear science web portal at www.nucleonica.net. Access to the site is free but it requires registration. Lots of online web applications with technical documentation in the Nucleonica wiki.The best graduate level textbook I know of for nuclear engineering is Gladstone and Sesonske volumes 1 and 2.

that's "Glasstone" not "Gladstone"

surprised nobody has mentioned Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering by J. Kenneth Shultis and R. E. Faw. Its an excellent textbook.

Another great little book is Introduction to Nuclear Concepts for Engineers by R. M. Mayo.

Oops, your absolutely right. The links are still correct though.

All of them in the same level of lamarsh "Introduction to Nuclear engineering", they are not advanced.

I've been a professional in the Nuclear power field for 21 years and "Nuclear Reactor Analysis" by Duderstadt & Hamilton is advanced a textbook as you need. After that you are doing your own research or relying on the specialised work of others (usually those within your own organisation)

Well, if it's graduate study, aren't you looking into a more specialized topic anyway? I used Duderstadt and Hamilton in my undergrad course. It is a good resource though, and there are subjects that weren't covered in as much detail as presented.
 

1. What are the top post graduate books for nuclear engineering?

Some of the top post graduate books for nuclear engineering include "Nuclear Reactor Engineering" by Samuel Glasstone and Alexander Sesonske, "Nuclear Systems Volume I: Thermal Hydraulic Fundamentals" by Neil E. Todreas and Mujid S. Kazimi, and "Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering" by J. Kenneth Shultis and Richard E. Faw.

2. How do I choose the best post graduate book for my specific area of interest in nuclear engineering?

The best way to choose a post graduate book for your specific area of interest is to research the authors, read reviews, and consult with your professors or colleagues for recommendations. It is also important to consider the edition, publication date, and relevance to your current studies or research.

3. Are there any online resources or digital versions of post graduate books for nuclear engineering?
