An Advanced Course in Nuclear Engineering Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, expectations have been rising for nuclear power generation in the world because the need for a safe and stable energy supply is increasing against the background of global environmental issues and the depletion of oil-based energy sources. The situation is calling for the development of human resources with advanced knowledge and techniques of nuclear energy. The role of nuclear energy remains unchanged in the world even after Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Needs for education and human resource development of nuclear professionals who understand and manage the nuclear power have increased worldwide. This series of books is really the renaissance of publication covering the full fields of, and reflecting recent advances in, nuclear engineering and technology in these three past decades in the world. Anyone who tries to solve and counter practical problems and unknown application problems encountered in using nuclear energy will face the need to return to the basics. This requires the capability to envision various images of the subject. The systematic acquisition of knowledge of nuclear energy is fundamental to nuclear R&D and the development of the nuclear industry. This series of books is designed to serve that purpose. We have been publishing this series as a set of standard books for systematically studying nuclear energy from the basics to actual practice, with the aim of nurturing experts and engineers who can act from a global perspective. While being aware of the situation surrounding nuclear energy, students need not only to familiarize themselves with basic knowledge but also to acquire practical expertise, including flexible knowledge and first-hand techniques that allow them to understand field practices without experiencing any gap. This series consists of three courses on nuclear energy: the basic course, the frontier course, and the practical course. The content is based on the education at the Nuclear Professional School and the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Management, both established by the University of Tokyo with the aim of developing high-level human resources specializing in nuclear energy to cope with the new century of nuclear energy. The books were written mainly by faculty members of the University of Tokyo and researchers at the Japan Atomic Energy Agency and in related industries. We would like to extend our gratitude to all those who have kindly taken the time to contribute to or cooperate in the creation and publication of this book series.
