Lamarsh's text is more prominently used though I prefer Shultis
Supplement with Radiation Detection and Measurement - Glenn F. Knoll


Bumping my own question from the previous thread for a quality molecular simulation text.

I'm a ChemE looking for an introductory text to NukeE (out of pure interest, not as a professional reference), in general I've found most people recommend these two texts:

- "Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering" Second Edition by JK Shultis & RE Faw (2007)
- "Introduction to Nuclear Engineering" by JR Lamarsh & AJ Baratta (2001)

I was thinking about getting the former mostly because it's more modern and apparently more accessible, however Lamarsh's text seems to be recommended more often. Does anyone have any recommendations either way? I'd rather not get both.

Also someone recommended "Radiation Detection and Measurement" by GF Knoll (2010) as a supplementary text to cover the particle physics in more detail. Any recommendations/anecdotes would be appreciated.
