Nuclear Energy: A Professional Assessmentby Watt Committee on Energy Publications
Spon Press 1984; US$ 260.00At a number of meetings of the Watt Committee Executive, I mentioned my embarrassment at being asked repeatedly by all sorts of people, ?What does The Watt Committee on Energy think about nuclear energy?? At the Executive meeting on 20 October 1981, Mr G.K.C. Pardoe, our Deputy Chairman, suggested an answer: we should form a working party to produce a summary of the position, all the way from the uranium mine to the disposal of nuclear waste. It would be as professional and objective as the time available permitted. It would deal with the question from the British standpoint a similar text produced by the Americans or the French might be very different and would stress facts, rather than opinions, leaving it to the reader to draw his... more...
Principles Of Fusion Energyby A A Harms; G H Miley; K F Schoepf
World Scientific 2000; US$ 72.80This textbook accommodates the two divergent developmental paths which have become solidly established in the field of fusion energy: the process of sequential tokamak development toward a prototype and the need for a more fundamental and integrative research approach before costly design choices are made. Emphasis is placed on the development of physically coherent and mathematically clear characterizations of the scientific and technological foundations of fusion energy which are specifically suitable for a first course on the subject. Of interest, therefore, are selected aspects of nuclear physics, electromagnetics, plasma physics, reaction dynamics, materials science, and engineering systems, all brought together to form an integrated... more...
International Control of Tritium for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Disarmamentby Martin B. Kalinowski
CRC Press 2004; US$ 119.95This monograph is closing a gap in the literature on nuclear nun-proliferation. It convinces the reader that a carefully designed tritium control would be beneficial both for non-proliferation of tritium as well as for reserving the nuclear arms more...
Emerging Demands for the Safety of Nuclear Power Operations:by Naosuke Itoigawa; Babette Fahlbruch; Bernhard Wilpert
CRC Press 2004; US$ 129.95Technological and social aspects of industrial safety come under the scrutiny of scientists and engineers from an array of backgrounds. This is the third publication developed from a very fruitful, longstanding cooperation between the Institute of Social Research within the Institute of Nuclear Safety System in Japan, and the Research Center Systems Safety, Berlin University of Technology. The book presents a cross-disciplinary, state-of-the-art look at the latest human factors developments in the industry, with wider applications for the entire industrial sector. Expert contributors explore issues in four areas: emerging challenges; analytic tools; response within the industry; and public response.Catalog Copy more...
Radioisotope Gauges for Industrial Process Measurementsby Geir Anton Johansen; Peter Jackson
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 195.00In order to fully utilise nucleonic measurement principles and their applications, it is important to have an understanding of the underlying physics. Radioisotope Gauges for Industrial Process Measurements combines theoretical background with practical experience in order to present an accessible overview of the use of radioisotopes in industry. This unique book explains the modes of operation of installed gauges and presents nucleonic methods relevant to measurement problems. The first part of the book deals with radiation sources, the interaction of radiation with matter and radiation detectors. The second part explains the different measurement principles used for industrial gauges and the last part of the book covers industrial applications.... more...
