About this product
Product Information
Nuclear Energy, Fifth Edition provides nuclear engineers, plant designers and radiation physicists with a comprehensive overview of nuclear energy and its uses, discusses potential problems and provides an outlook for the futureNew and important trends are discussed including probabilistic safety analysis (PSA), deregulation of the electric power industry to permit competition in the supply of electricity; improvements in performance characteristics of nuclear power plants, such as capacity factor, production costs, and safety factors; storage and disposal of all types of radioactive wastes; advances in decontamination, decommissioning and reutilization; continued progress in evolutionary reactors; increased interest in the role of nuclear power in reducing pollution and global warming. Attention will also be given to the developments in such countries as Russia, Ukraine, France, Sweden, South Korea, China and Third World Countries. The author also looks at the problems of nuclear weapons proliferation and the potential threat from terrorist organizations or reckless countries.

"This book presents basic concepts in nuclear energy in crisp and elegant fashion. Prof. Murray has done an excellent job with this fifth edition." -Shripad T. Revankar, Purdue University This book is for beginners, and it is especially useful for the engineer or scientist who has no previous knowledge of nuclear energy but who wishes to get up to speed and become familiar with the general problems. This is a fine book and will, I believe, help to show students that nuclear engineering, and its associated fields, are worthwhile areas in which to plan a career. -M.M.R Williams, Emeritus Professor of Nuclear Engineering, University of London especially impressed with the inclusion of computer problems, "Nuclear engineers, plant designers and radiation physicists are provided a comprehensive overview of nuclear energy and its uses. New and important trends are discussed including probabilistic safety analysis; deregulation of the electric power-industry to permit competition in the supply of electricity; improvements in performance characteristics of nuclear power plants, such as capacity factor, production costs and safety factors; storage and disposal of all types of radioactive wastes; advances in decontamination, decommissioning and reutilization; continued progress in evolutionary reactors; increased interest in the role of nuclear power in reducing pollution and global warning. Most importantly attention is give to the developments in countries such as Russia, Ukraine, France, Sweden, South Korea, China and Third-World countries. The book also looks at the problems of nuclear weapons proliferation and the potential threat from terrorist organizations. Web sites and other electronic information sources are included to supplement all of the topics covered, along with an instructor manual." -Chaos Solitons & Fractals Dr.Murray's subtitle to his excellent book is "An Introduction to Concepts, Systems, and Applications of Nuclear Processes" which allows me to recommend it particularly to students of the topic. However, I would be doing the rest of the "nuclear" fraternity an injustice by excluding them as this is a splendid reference book and, indeed, Dr.Murray's list of references at the end of each chapter is all embracing and includes numerous website addresses as well as the more usual bibliography. - Keith Simm, Managing Editor, "The Nuclear Engineer", This book presents basic concepts in nuclear energy in crisp and elegant fashion.
