Are there any books about how to teach nuclear reactor physics?

Click For Summary
A reactor physics teacher is seeking recommendations for books or papers on teaching reactor physics. Traditional texts mentioned include Lamarsh, Henry, and Duderstadt, with older educators favoring analytical solutions and numerical schemes, while younger educators emphasize numerical methods and code development. A suggestion is made for Glasstone and Sesonske's "Nuclear Reactor Engineering," noted for its practical approach and strong section on instrumentation, which may not be present in newer editions. The discussion highlights the importance of specifying the audience and their knowledge level for effective teaching resources.

it was practical with an excellent section on instrumentation that is not in my later edition.
 
I deeply respect people who are engaged in self-education. Nevertheless the problem of self-education is as follows. A person reads textbooks and forms his own opinion about what he has read. Then he tries to solve a problem and faces the fact that his answer is not equal to the one in the end of the book. Then he goes to specialists and asks them what the story is. He expects that specialists will help him to solve the problem and they will do that by using his own understandings and...
