      Reactor Physics

      Reactor Physics

      The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

      Nuclear power developments in China and the world

      The development of human society and technology is closely correlated to the means of energy acquisition, utilization method, efficiency, and spectrum of applications. High quality of life and sustainable socioeconomic development require a sustainable and reliable energy supply. Wealth, health, food, water, infrastructure, education, and even life expectancy itself strongly correlate with the consumption of energy per capita. Having an adequate, reliable, affordable, eco-friendly, and sustainable supply of energy is becoming more crucial for economic development and improving human well-being.

Description

This book is a reprint of the original. The ebook version is a PDF download only.

Much has transpired since Nuclear Power Reactor Safety was first published in 1977. Yet the book retains its relevance, for while numerous publications now cover narrower aspects of reactor safety in greater depth, few if any provide the integrated treatment of the fundamental aspects of reactor safety contained in this single volume. Focusing on accidents leading to the release of radioactive materials in the environment, the text emphasizes the more acute situations that may result in serious public health problems. It stresses the principles of reactor safety that will enable the reader to deal with new problems as they arise. The book requires an understanding of basic concepts of reactor engineering and an undergraduate background in physics and mathematics.
Featuring a new foreword and errata, this book is a timely update to a worthy classic!
