Is Fermi's Nuclear Physics still relevant as an entry level textbook

As a quantum/theoretical chemist, I am eager to broaden my understanding of quantum phenomena. Fermi's Nuclear Physics book from 1950 seems like an important text. However, seing it is 70+ years old, I wonder if it is still relevant as an entry level textbook, given that I have very little background in nuclear physics, but a decent background in molecular quantum physics. If not, what alternative would you recommend?
