Nuclear power and engineering

Magnetic storms may cause damage to satellites, radiation hazard to astronauts, disruption of radio communications, and interruption of ground electric power lines.

Decommissioning nuclear facilities is a relatively new field, which has developed rapidly in the last ten years.

During the last century, nuclear power has been established as a reliable source of energy in the major industrialised countries.

This book provides an accessible introduction to radioactivity.

The onset of the 21st century has coincided with mounting scientific evidence of the severe environmental impact of global energy consumption.

High-Temperature Gas Reactors is the fifth volume in the JSME Series on Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation.

This book presents an overview of state-of-the art approaches to determine thermal safety margins in nuclear reactors.

India is the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, which makes it an important player whose climate mitigation actions and inactions are closely scrutinised.

* Clear and concise, information is analysed and presented in both a resource-by-resource and country-by-country approach * Comprehensive, the outlook for seventeen energy resources including all major fossil and renewable resources is evaluated* Free CD-Rom will help electronic navigation of this comprehensive resourceThe Survey of Energy Resources (SER) is a unique and authoritative publication produced by the World Energy Council every three years, since 1934.

Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors is the third volume in the JSME Series on Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation, which presents a comprehensive view of the latest research and activities from around the globe.

Nuclear Safety provides the methods and data needed to evaluate and manage the safety of nuclear facilities and related processes using risk-based safety analysis, and provides readers with the techniques to assess the consequences of radioactive releases.

Advanced separations technology is key to closing the nuclear fuel cycle and relieving future generations from the burden of radioactive waste produced by the nuclear power industry.

This book provides for the first time an insider's view into ITER, the biggest fusion reactor in the world, which is currently being constructed in southern France.
