Management of Ageing in Graphite Reactor Cores
Royal Society of Chemistry 2007; US$ 160.00Nuclear power currently contributes nearly a quarter of the electricity needs of the UK. Much of this is from nuclear reactor plants developed some fifty years ago. Consequently, in the next few decades, many of these reactors and components are coming to the end of their 'useful' life and strategies for the effective management of these decommissioned... more...
Nuclear Safety
CRC Press 1998; US$ 219.95This text represents a cross-disciplinary look at the human factors developments in the nuclear power industry, with wider applications for the entire industrial sector. Technical, psychological and social aspects of industrial safety come under the more...
Human Factors in Nuclear Safety
CRC Press 1996; US$ 189.95The value of ergonomics is increasingly recognized amongst those involved with the creation and distribution of nuclear power. This work provides insights into plant design, performance shaping factors, the fostering of a safety culture, training, more...
