This book should serve to attract the attention of young people
interested in the natural sciences and could be used by teachers to disseminate
nuclear knowledge to the young generation. It is hoped that more compilations of
this kind from other nuclear areas will follow to enhance public awareness of
the many beneficial contributions of nuclear techniques. Topics covered
includes: Cosmochemistry, Methods And Method Validation, Environmental
Applications, Medical Applications, Industrial Applications, Non-destructive
Testing, And Analysis of Art Objects, Forensic Applications, Archaeological
Investigations.
The purpose of this book is to emphasize the importance of the existence
of the radioactive gas radon in the environment and to make this natural
phenomenon a top issue because radon is included in class A human
carcinogenesis.
This note deals with key issues of fusion reactor technologies based
on magnetic confinement, focusing on the tokamak concept. Overview of the fusion
power plant system will be introduced and energetics of which will be addressed.
Then, the way how to build and operate a tokamak is going to be covered.
This note provides an
introduction to the basic properties of ionizing radiations and their uses in
medicine, industry, science, and environmental studies. Also discusses natural
and man-made radiation sources, energy deposition and dose calculations, and
various physical, chemical, and biological processes and effects of radiation,
with examples of their uses, and principles of radiation protection.
This note explains correctly the major
ideas associated with Nuclear Chemistry listed below, to work numerical problems
involving these concepts and to extend the use of these concepts to unknown
situations.
