In 1957, one of the two reactors built at Windscale in Cumbria to produce plutonium for bombs was destroyed by fire in the world's first major nuclear accident.
Viewed by experts as being on the threshold of acquiring nuclear weapons, Argentina and Brazil have recently taken steps to assure each other their nuclear programs are entirely peaceful.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Third Castiglioncello International Conference on "e;Nuclear Arsenals Reduction - Perspectives and Consequences"e; which took place in Livorno, Italy, from 22 to 25 September 1989.
Written by one of the world's leading experts in the field of nuclear medicine dosimetry, this text describes in detail the use of internal dose calculations in the practice of nuclear medicine.
Gamma cameras are traditionally large devices that are situated in nuclear medicine departments, but recent advances in detector design have enabled the production of compact gamma cameras that allow nuclear imaging at the patient bedside and in the operating theatre.
This is the first textbook dedicated to CEST imaging and covers the fundamental principles of saturation transfer, key features of CEST agents that enable the production of imaging contrast, and practical aspects of preparing image-acquisition and post-processing schemes suited for in vivo applications.
This book describes at the introductory level how modern technology has made the scenario of the classic science-fiction movie Fantastic Voyage a reality.
Questo libro offre una raccolta completa di esperimenti introduttivi alla fisica dei raggi cosmici e alla fisica nucleare utilizzando i contatori Geiger.
Looking at national peace organizations alongside lesser-known protest collectives, this book argues that anti-nuclear activists encountered familiar challenges common to other social movements of the late twentieth century.
The sharing of nuclear weapons technology between states is unexpected, because nuclear weapons are such a powerful instrument in international politics, but sharing is not rare.
