An "Introduction to Nuclear Physics" book

[JD_PM]

Hi, I am wondering what's the best (or one of the best) available books on Introduction to Nuclear Physics. I started reading Krane's, which is a good book. However I am looking for more options.

I am most interested in books which give a deep insight into physics concepts without lacking of mathematical background (kind of Griffiths style). Griffiths has a book on elementary particles but my teacher said I better look for another book about just nuclear physics.

Thanks

Fraunfelder and Henley seems to be a good book. It goes deeper than Krane. F and H is advanced undergrad and grad textbook.
Emilio Segre also had a good book on nuclear physics but this is probably out of print.

Fraunfelder and Henley

The 3rd edition is Henley and Garcia. Or did you mean an older one? I have the 1st edition; I find it quite dated.

I have the 45 year old edition, so it is probably too old to recommend. I have not taken nuclear physics for 30+ years and do not work in the field.
I just thought it was well written when I looked at it recently. The OP will likely need a more recent text. I do not know the Henley and Garcia text updated version.
We do still use Jackson, and Goldstein and these are even older. However, nuclear physics has probably changed to a greater degree than classical mechanics and classical electrodynamics.
