1. Robert Barjon, Physique des réacteurs nucléaires [The physics of nuclear reactors], autoedition, Grenoble, ISBN 2-7061-0508-9, 1993. This work along with [Bussac and Reuss 1985], is one the two most complete references in French. Unfortunately, this self-edition is out of stock and very hard to find at present. Robert Barjon started his career at the Faculty of Alger, translated the famous [Halliday, 1957], and taught at Grenoble for several years. It is most unfortunate that this book is no longer edited.
2. Alain Baur, Protection contre les rayonnements : aspects physiques et méthodes de calcul [Radiation shielding: physical aspects and calculation methods], CEA/INSTN, ISBN 2-7272-0102-8, 1985, 287 pages. This is an excellent book on radiation physics and one of the most complete references for theoretical aspects [Métivier, 2006].

Richard Ernest Bellman, Garrett Birkhoff, Ibrahim Abu-Shumays, Transport theory, American Mathemetical Society, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, AMS Bookstore, ISBN 0-8218-1320-X, 1969, 327 pages. It is a compilation of several articles from the symposium of applied mathematics (New York, 1967), and is in the form of a book with several parts. Several experts in transport theory have contributed among whom Case, Corngold, Gelbard, Wing, Kalos….
5. Karl Heinrich Bekurts, Karl Wirtz, Neutron physics, Springer Verlag, 1964, 444 pages. It is a more complete version of [Wirtz and Bekurts, 1958] in German. It is extremely clear with modern notations. There is also a significant chapter on detector calculations and on experimental methods.
