Review # 1 was written on 2014-10-31 00:00:00 William Cook Required text for next semester's NRE 6201 and advised as prerequisite material for NRE 6301. I'm expecting a thorough ass-kicking from 6201 and would like to get started ASAP (also, I need to find a copy of Lewis & Miller's Computational Methods of Neutron Transport so I can convince them I needn't take 6101 -- all I've really read on the subject is Krane's awesome Introductory Nuclear Physics!). Heh, you've got to love the NRE 6303 course summary: "To introduce the students to the advanced theory and practice of nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulics analysis under normal and accident conditions." If you're anything like me, just reading the graduate cirricula is getting you hot right now...I quote the inimitable Top Gun: [watching a video of planes being shot down] Wolfman: This gives me a hard on. Hollywood: Don't tease me. Why is this book $160? sigh....
