Can anyone recommend a nuclear physics textbook which is focused on theory rather than engineering and comes with full solutions to all the problems provided in a separate solutions manual.
I MUST have a full solution manual. It may be an introductory text or advanced. Either way I can use it.
My query is very specific and there is no duplicate question.
Although other posts have plenty of recommendations of good books But since you are asking with a book with all exercises solved,
DC Tayal Nuclear Physics this book explains the concepts fairly and You can find the the solution manual (which is written in scilab but by hand calculation are obvious too) here
I would recommend to also keep other books as references as well like Krane
You might also want to study the angular momentum techniques for Advanced Nuclear physics you can look into Angular Momentum techniques by Devanathan which also provide solutions at back for selected exercises other books without solution are already mentioned in other posts, you can take them as references as well.
Chegg.com has solutions for this book:
Introductory Nuclear Physics David Halliday, Kenneth S Krane (1987)

You might find other books on the topic with solutions on Chegg.com.
When you search for a book name it says "Solutions available" under the book info if the book in question has solutions.
(But in some cases, the solutions could be partial.)
It looks to be this book on Amazon (but you might want to double check that the editions match):

Another book with at least partial solutions on Chegg.com is:
