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 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.
The study of radiation
effects has developed as a major field of materials science from the beginning,
approximately 70 years ago. Its rapid development has been driven by two strong
influences. The properties of the crystal defects and the materials containing
them may then be studied. The book is distributed in four sections: Ionic
Materials; Biomaterials; Polymeric Materials and Metallic Materials.
This book explains the basic
principles of nuclear chemistry at the level of undergraduate college students
who has some familiarity with scientific concepts and terminology.
