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

AI Thread 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.

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.
