Re: high school nuclear science

[Ludwik Kowalski <KowalskiL@MAIL.MONTCLAIR.EDU>]

I would like to add one more title, also very appropriate for
high school students. It is "Nuclear Energy, An Introduction
to Concepts, Systems, and Applications of Nuclear Processes"
by R. L. Murray. I have the 3rd edition (1988). Check with
Pergamon Press if it is still available.
