Offering a comprehensive assessment of the dynamics driving - and constraining - nuclear power development in Asia, Europe and North America, this book provides a detailed comparative analysis of contemporary issues in the field.
This title is the first of four 'new-look' books in the Power and Energy series that are aimed at industry professionals rather than academics. Nuclear Power explains in detail how nuclear power works, its costs, its benefits as part of the electricity supply system, and also examines its record. This book covers the debate over the pros and cons of nuclear power. Is it expensive, dangerous …

This book deals specifically with the interaction of radiation with matter. Specifically divided into four chapters. The subject covers basic knowledge of radiation, atoms, radioactivity, x-rays, interactions of electrons and photons, and is also accompanied by questions and problems. This textbook can be read by students of engineering physics, nuclear medicine, and nuclear engineering and eve…
This book discusses the illicit trade in the world with all its phenomena. The products in circulation range from money laundering, trade in chemical weapons, narcotics, humans, and even nuclear. In other chapters, problems and solutions are also explained (MM).
in this book, the terms safety or hazard analysis are viewed interchange ably, and they, as well as reliability analysis, refer to studies of process of equipment failure or operability. If the purpose of the study is to determine safety parameters, it is necessary to condider, in addition to equipment failure and operability, the possibility of damage by (or to) the system. I this Phase of the…
College Physics, Fourth presents a unique forces first approach to physics that builds a conceptual framework as motivation for the physical principles. That intuitive approach, combined with a consistent problem solving strategies, stunning art, extensive end-of-chapter material, and superior media support make Giambattista, Richardson, and Richardson a product that addresses the needs of TODA…
Man’s environment is pervaded by ionizing radiation of predominantly natural origin but now with an important contribution from anthropogenic activities. Exposure to ionizing radiation can have serious health implications, which is why it is of concern to us. This book brings together under one cover, the fundamentals of radiological protection, the techniques used for measuring radioactivity…
Modern Nuclear Chemistry provides up-to-date coverage of the latest research as well as examinations of the theoretical and practical aspects of nuclear and radiochemistry. Includes worked examples and solved problems. Provides comprehensive information as a practical reference. Presents fundamental physical principles, in brief, of nuclear and radiochemistry. The first succinct coverag…
As Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Heat Transfer (CHT) evolve and become increasingly important in standard engineering design and analysis practice, users require a solid understanding of mechanics and numerical methods to make optimal use of available software. The Finite Element Method in Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamics, Third Edition illustrates what a user must know t…
