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.

Nuclear development can be defined, in a broad sense, as nuclear science and technology, which are both based on the reactions involved in radiation such as neutrons, gamma rays, and other charged particles with nuclei. The nuclear reaction is the shared basis of nuclear science and technology, and the nuclear development must be more than simply development of energy sources. On the long ter…
