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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on resources for teaching reactor physics, highlighting key texts such as "Introduction to Nuclear Reactor Physics" by Lamarsh, "Fundamentals of Nuclear Reactor Physics" by Duderstadt, and "Nuclear Reactor Engineering" by Glasstone and Sesonske. Traditional teaching methods emphasize analytical solutions, while contemporary approaches focus on numerical methods and code development. The conversation underscores the importance of tailoring teaching materials to the audience's knowledge level.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nuclear reactor principles
  • Familiarity with analytical and numerical methods in reactor physics
  • Knowledge of instrumentation relevant to nuclear reactors
  • Experience in curriculum development for technical subjects
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Introduction to Nuclear Reactor Physics" by Lamarsh
  • Explore "Nuclear Reactor Engineering" by Glasstone and Sesonske
  • Investigate modern numerical methods in reactor physics
  • Study curriculum development techniques for technical education
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators in nuclear engineering, reactor physics instructors, and curriculum developers seeking effective teaching resources and methodologies in the field of nuclear science.

I'm unaware of such book. Traditional texts are Lamarsh, Henry, and Duderstadt. Older teachers tend to emphasize analytical solutions and to some extent numerical schemes. Younger teachers focus more on implementation of numerical methods and code development.

Who are you teaching this to? You need to clearly specify your audience/students and their expected level of knowledge.

I loved Glasstone and Sessonske "Nuclear Reactor Engineering"
this edition

it was practical with an excellent section on instrumentation that is not in my later edition.
