"Most textbooks on reactor physics focus either on application to Light Water Reactors (LWRs) or on the theory and mathematics, with a significant number of equations and computational schemes. Many were written more than 20, or even more than 60, years ago, and therefore they do not reflect the evolution of reactor concepts and engineering requirements since then. Those categories of books either are difficult to follow for non-physicists working in the nuclear industry, or else are of little value for those who are interested in special features of CANDU reactor physics. With more than 75 combined experience in the area of CANDU and LWR reactor physics and safety, the authors provide a practical book on reactor physics for CANDU reactors, particularly for the safe operation of aging CANDU reactors, with almost no mathematics or equations. The book is also ideal as a reference for CANDU physicists, operators, regulatory staff, and for those who need to interact with reactor physicists at CANDU sites, nuclear laboratories, institutes, universities, or engineering companies. This book assumes prior knowledge of nuclear physics offered at the high-school level and/or at universities. Readers whose focus is only on calculations or on the development of software on reactor physics should refer to the books listed in the bibliography"--
