Radiation Shielding
I have read 'Radiation Shielding' from cover to cover,and I must say that Shultis hit the nail on the head for almost every question I wanted answered.This book was very helpful in that it provided great detail forshielding procedures, step by step,unlike many other books I read.The onlyproblem I found with this textbook is that the binding on it is weak,andcomes off easily. Plus the pages have a strong smell of sulfur(fart) .Thiswas probably due to a problem with the manufacture of the paper,but don'tworry,it's not that bad.Thumbs up.Great book.

Excellent reference book or classroom tool
Having had the authors as professors while getting my nuclear engineering degree, I can assure you that these are two professionals that know what they are talking about.The book is an excellent reference for anyone involved in radiation shielding.If you are teaching a class related to this, you must have this book.The book presents a very thorough technical discussion of all aspects regarding radiation shielding.

Very good, state of the art
This book provides an excellent overview of modern radiation shielding analysis. It includes a very solid introduction to concepts of ionizing radiation and radiation shielding. All references are were very much up-to-date and a lot of attention is being paid to advanced techniques.The book is a must for anyone who is or will be involved in serious radiation shielding engineering. ...

DON"T GET THESE TWO BOOKS CONFUSED
The overview of the book is for Computation Mthods of Neutron Transport. written by E.E. Lewis and W.F. Miller, Jr. An excellent book on neutron transport and the Boltzamann equation.I don't know anythin about nuclear fuels - and was looking for a book on Neutron transport and Amamzon.com's web-site seems to have mixed the two books up.

Overview of Nuclear Fuel Cycle
Nuclear Fuel Cycle: Analysis and Management by Robert G. Cochran, Nicholas Tsoulfanidis.This book is an overview treatment which does not treat engineering details.It covers the important materials at an undergraduate level.For graduate work it is inadequate, but it is a good complement to Benedict, Pigford and Levi, where the engineering detail can be found.(BP&L, unfortunately, is out of print.)This book gives the current context of the nuclear fuel cycle, which is out of date in BP&L. ...

Weak on the standard model!
I used this book for a 3rd year university course in subatomic physics. What I particularly liked was the two chapters on symmetries, which were thorough compared to what i have seen in comparable textbooks. I also foundthe chapters on nuclear physics quite good, as they gave a very compactpresentation of the most important aspects of this subject. The weakestpart of the book in my opinion is the chapter on the standard model.Read more
