      Accelerator Applications

      Accelerator Applications

      The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

      Nuclear energy: enabling production of food, fiber, hydrocarbon biofuels, and negative carbon emissions

      In the 1960s, Alvin Weinberg at Oak Ridge National Laboratory initiated a series of studies on nuclear agro-­industrial complexes1 to address the needs of the world’s growing population. Agriculture was a central component of these studies, as it must be. Much of the emphasis was on desalination of seawater to provide fresh water for irrigation of crops. Remarkable advances have lowered the cost of desalination to make that option viable in countries like Israel. Later studies2 asked the question, are there sufficient minerals (potassium, phosphorous, copper, nickel, etc.) to enable a prosperous global society assuming sufficient nuclear energy? The answer was a qualified “yes,” with the caveat that mineral resources will limit some technological options. These studies were defined by the characteristic of looking across agricultural and industrial sectors to address multiple challenges using nuclear energy.

Description

Purchase Volume I and Volume II together and save 25%!
 
Light Water Reactor Materials, Volume I: Fundamentals is a textbook that describes the fundamentals of nuclear materials behavior in light water reactors. Both the materials science and nuclear engineering topics needed to understand the behavior of materials in-reactor are covered. The first volume focuses on fundamentals, including thermodynamics, crystallography, diffusion, elasticity, dislocations, grain boundaries, nuclear heat production, phase transformations, mechanical behavior, radiation damage, microstructure evolution under irradiation, and aqueous corrosion, and a chapter on computational materials written by Brian Wirth. A forthcoming second volume (Applications) will focus on applying these principles to real-world problems.
 
An interview with author Arthur Motta was published in Nuclear News. The full interview is available here: http://cdn.ans.org/pubs/docs/motta_interview.pdf
