The first book in the market to look at innovation/entrepreneurship from an international perspective.
The clamor for non-carbon dioxide emitting energy production has directly impacted on the development of nuclear energy. As new nuclear plants are built, plans and designs are continually being developed to manage the range of challenging requirement and problems that nuclear plants face especially when managing the greatly increased operating temperatures, irradiation doses and extended design…
This book originated from our involvement in the development of this hybrid discipline from its earliest days. During the early 1990s, when the smuggling of nuclear materials was first becoming a reality, we developed and adapted analytic tools based on first-principles nuclear science and an understanding of the stadards of forensic science.

The first paper in the first section of this book: Theory, Mechanism, and Simulation provides a thorough overview of the importance of tribological design. Many hydraulic wear and failure problems could be eliminated if appropriate design principles were employed. The remaining papers in this section, taken together, provide the reader with a thorough overview of fundamental principles involved…
