This
note explains the following topics: Classical Two-Body Kinematics, Special
Relativity, Particle-like Nature of Waves, Wave-like properties of Particles,
The Shrodinger equation, The Rutherford-Bohr model of the Atom, The Hydrogen
Atom, Many-Electron Atoms, Nuclear Properties, Force Between Nucleons,
Radioactive Decay.
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 textbook
will stimulate the interest of students in nuclear reactor theory and help them
to master the topic within a short period of time. This textbook is composed of
two parts. Part 1, Elements of Nuclear Reactor Theory, is composed of only
elements but the main resource for the lecture of nuclear reactor theory, and
should be studied as common knowledge. Part 2, Reactor Analysis is aimed to
cover all areas of reactor physics and contains detailed descriptions.
The Living Textbook of Nuclear
Chemistry is an attempt to gather on a single website a number of supplemental
materials related to the study and practice of nuclear chemistry.
