One of the most critical requirements for safe and reliable nuclear power plant operations is the availability of competent maintenance personnel. However, just as the nuclear power industry is experiencing a renaissance, it is also experiencing an exodus of seasoned maintenance professionals due to retirement. The perfect guide for engineers just entering the field or experienced maintenance s…
Since the end of the Cold War, the nuclear threats facing the world are dramatically evolving and have become even much more complex. However, the events of the past years have proved the necessity to reevaluate these threats on a level never before considered. The need to prevent, detect and respond to Nuclear/Radiological threats leads to many requirements that are not met by current scientif…
This book provides updated information on a number of radiologically hazardous areas, based on recent field work. From Chernobyl to plutonium production complexes, from Hiroshima to former Soviet and U.S. nuclear test sites, the relationship between contamination levels and doses in the population and the recovery from hazards are discussed in detail. The author assesses the far-reaching effect…
Technological and social aspects of industrial safety come under the scrutiny of scientists and engineers from an array of backgrounds. This is the third publication developed from a very fruitful, longstanding cooperation between the Institute of Social Research within the Institute of Nuclear Safety System in Japan, and the Research Center Systems Safety, Berlin University of Technology. The …
This “Handbook of Nuclear Medicine Practices in the Developing Countries” is meant primarily for those, who intend to install and practice nuclear medicine in a developing country. By and large, the conventional textbooks of nuclear medicine do not cater to the special problems and needs of these countries. The Handbook is not trying to replace these Textbooks, but supplement them with spec…
