Preface
Nuclear power has now established itself as one of the promising sources of power in the twenty-first century. This is evident from the world energy scenario as nuclear power is gradually taking the center stage in providing a reliable, safe, and cheap power all over the world. Nuclear reactor is the main part of a nuclear power plant. Heat energy is generated in the core of nuclear reactor by neutron chain reaction. It involves atomic fission of heavy radioactive elements with the liberation of heat energy. This energy is used to generate steam to run the turbines and consequently generate electricity using alternators. Thus, the neutron chain reaction is the most crucial process in a nuclear reactor. This chain reaction may become unstable if not controlled properly. The safe and efficient operation of a nucle
