  Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
  The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

  A day in the life of the nuclear community
  The November issue of Nuclear News is focused on the individuals who make up our nuclear community.
  We invited a small group of those individuals to tell us about their day-to-day work in some of the many occupations and applications of nuclear science and technology, and they responded generously. They were ready to tell us about the part they play, together with colleagues and team members, in supplying clean energy, advancing technology, protecting safety and health, and exploring fundamental science.
  In these pages, we see a community that can celebrate both those workdays that record progress moving at a steady pace and the exceptional days when a goal is reached, a briefing is delivered, a contract goes through, a discovery is made, or an unforeseen challenge is overcome.
  The Nuclear News staff hopes that you enjoy meeting these members of our community—or maybe get reacquainted with friends—through their words and photos.

Nuclear Power Reactor Safety

Nuclear Power Reactor Safety

Elmer E. Lewis

Item ID: 690094|ISBN: 0-471-53335-1

1977

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!
