Perspectives on Nuclear Data for the Next Decade
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2006; US$ 98.00With a declining number of nuclear data evaluators in the world and an increasing demand for high-quality data, there is a risk that evaluators will concentrate on producing new nuclear data to the detriment of developing new models and methods for evaluating existing data. In this context, it is essential to identify the basic physics issues that... more...
Nuclear Power Plant Life Management and Longer-term Operation
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2006; US$ 42.00This book, prepared by NEA member country experts, contains data and analyses relevant to nuclear power plant life management and the plants' extended, longer-term operation (LTO). It addresses technical, economic and environmental aspects and provides insights into the benefits and challenges of plant life management and LTO. It will be of interest... more...
The Future of Nuclear Power
Elsevier Science 2004; US$ 215.00During the last century, nuclear power has been established as a reliable source of energy in the major industrialised countries. It has recently enjoyed a revival in attention and research due to the environmental concerns surrounding current conventional energy sources. Issues of regulation and safety are at the forefront of all discussions involving... more...
Radiological Protection Evolution of the System of Radiological Protection
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2008; US$ 70.00The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has actively participated in discussions with the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) regarding the development of new recommendations that will replace those in ICRP Publication 60, which has long served as the international standard in this field. Part of this development process has involved... more...
Uranium 2007
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2008; US$ 168.00Based on official information received from 40 countries, Uranium 2007 provides a comprehensive review of world uranium supply and demand as of 1st January 2007, as well as data on global uranium exploration, resources, production and reactor-related requirements. It provides substantive new information from major uranium production centres in Africa,... more...
Nuclear Development Risks and Benefits of Nuclear Energy
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2007; US$ 33.00In the context of sustainable development policies, decision making in the energy sector should be based on carefully designed trade-offs which take into account, insofar as feasible, all of the alternative options advantages and drawbacks from the economic, environmental and social viewpoints. This report examines various aspects of nuclear... more...
Nuclear Science Structural Materials for Innovative Nuclear Systems (SMINS)
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2008; US$ 154.00Structural materials research is a field of growing relevance in the nuclear sector, especially for the different innovative reactor systems being developed within the Generation IV International Forum (GIF), for critical and subcritical transmutation systems, and of interest to the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP). Under the auspices of the... more...
Magnetic Control of Tokamak Plasmas
Springer 2008; US$ 119.99The problem of confining a plasma, with sufficiently high density and temperature, is of crucial importance if nuclear fusion is to be made usable as a form of power generation. Tokamaks a" devices with a toroidal geometry a" are among the most popular candidates by which such confinement can be achieved. A tokamak separates a plasma from... more...
Nuclear Power
The Institution of Engineering and Technology 1753; US$ 50.00This new and exciting title is the first of 4 new look books in the "Power" series, which are aimed at industry professionals rather than academics. "Nuclear Power" explains in detail how nuclear power works, its costs, benefits as part of the electricity supply system and examines its record. The book covers the debate of is it... more...
Stability and Buffering Capacity of the Geosphere for Long-term Isolation of Radioactive Waste
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2009; US$ 87.00Geological settings selected as potential host formations for the deep geological disposal of radioactive waste are chosen for, among other assets, their long-term stability and buffering capacity against destabilising events and processes. These proceedings present the outcomes of a geosphere stability workshop, held in November 2007, that focused... more...
