The book is great with the perfect mid-point of useful technical detail and easily understandable explanations. An excellent read for anyone interested in something a bit more in-depth than most popular science books, just so long as you go in with your brain switched on.

It should be of interest to both general readers wanting to know how a nuclear reactor works, those new to the industry, and specialists wanting a broader overview. The book is well produced, well written and the author s enthusiasm and sense of humour come over. (Nigel Buttery, Nuclear Future, May-June, 2020)
