Nuclear Systems, Volume I: Thermal Hydraulic Fundamentals, Third Edition, provides an in-depth introduction to nuclear power, focusing on thermal hydraulic design and analysis of the nuclear core and other key nuclear plant components. The authors stress the integration of fluid flow and heat transfer as applied to all power reactor types and energy source distribution. They cover nuclear react…
This book explores what political conditions must be established and what obstacles overcome for the fi ve offi cial Nuclear Weapon States (NWS)— China, France, Russia, the UK and US— to eliminate their nuclear weapons. The different views and positions of a range of actors concerning nuclear weapons issues— including elite perspectives and public opinion— and the political assumptio…
The potential development of any nuclear power programme should include a rigorous justification process reviewing the substantial regulatory, economic and technical information necessary for implementation, given the long term commitments involved in any new nuclear power project. Infrastructure and methodologies for the justification of nuclear power programmes reviews the fundamental issues …
This book consist of Introduction; The history of energy; Energy reserves and renewable energy sources; Emerging fuel technologies and policies impacting these technologies; History of conversion of thermal energy to work; Transportation; Production o electricity; Energy in heating, Ventilation, and air conditioning; Electrical power as sustainable energy; Atomic processes; Recycling and waste …
Managing nuclear power emergencies is significantly different from managing other types of emergencies, including fire, flood, and other disasters because nuclear disaster management requires special technical skills and a rigid protocol which outlines detailed steps and procedure before an evacuation announcement could be made. It was evident that the impacts from a nuclear power core-meltdown…
Despite all the efforts being put into expanding renewable energy sources, large-scale power stations will be essential as part of a reliable energy supply strategy for a longer period. Given that they are low on CO2 emissions, many countries are moving into or expanding nuclear energy to cover their baseload supply.
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 book reviews the negotiations on the Non-Proliferation Treaty of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The history of the birth of the NPT is also discussed, including its influence in the globa kmuul order. This book is divided into 3 parts. At the end it closes with conclusions related to nuclear technology in influencing the world political arena (MM).
