1959 NR Reactor Physics Handbook (Vol 2)

This is Volume 2 of the NR Physics Handbook published in 1964. It was the 7th in a series of handbooks on basic reactor technology. The NR Physics Handbook is a 3 volume series consisting of the following:

• Vol 1 - provides basic theoretical and experimental material which are of wide interest including thermal and intermediate neutron energy reactor types.

• Vol 2 provides the physics design of light water moderated and cooled reactors (originally classified - it was redacted and declassified in 2022 by Naval Reactors after a FOIA request by the Federation of American Scientists)

• Vol 3 provides the physics design of intermediate neutron-energy reactors.
