Énergie Vol. 4: Nuclear Énergie
Description
Le ever increasing demand pour electricity et energy efficiency makes it too difficult to resist nuclear power as a source de energy. Nuclear power is a mature technology capable de generating large amounts de electricity en an affordable et reliable manner without adverse climate change effects. However, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima Daiichi et other nuclear accidents have increased le fear de harnessing nuclear energy. But no energy source is risk free et that includes nuclear power as well. Études indicate a large number de deaths because de particulate emissions from coal based thermal power plants. Le average mortality from coal is estimated at 170 deaths per billion kWh en comparison to 4 deaths per kWh from natural gas. Le mortality rate pour nuclear power is 0.09 deaths per kWh, after accounting pour Chernobyl et Fukushima disasters, from uranium mining using le linear no-threshold dose hypothesis. Safe disposal de radioactive nuclear waste is also an issue. Volume 4 discusses these et several other issues pertaining to nuclear energy at length. This volume includes discussion sur le following topics: • Low energy neutron physics • Nuclear energy from thorium • Quantum mechanics de nuclear decays • Quantum statistical nuclear multifragmentation • Equilibrium nuclear states pour fission energy utilization • Nuclear fusion energy from experiments to power plants • Thermonuclear burn-up de DT et DD fusion fuels • Single particle energy de nucleon et binding energies de nuclear matter • Monte Carlo code pour proton therapy • Simulation procedure pour continuous refuelling en pebble bed reactors • Monte Carlo simulations pour uncertainty analysis de problems en nuclear science • Fast reactor physics et computational methods • Statistical challenges en integrated nuclear safeguards • Nouveau micro-engineered materials pour improved safety de nuclear power devices • Public safety management before, during et after radiological accidents • Radioactivity en le environment en le vicinity de power plants et dose assessment • Impact assessment de beyond design-basis accident • Numerical modelling pour managing nuclear accidents: le Fukushima Daiichi case • Nuclear waste hazard et its solution • Inorganic phosphate cements pour safe disposal de radioactive wastes • Validation de nuclear data libraries at le U-D2O benchmark systems • Neutron activation analysis de le Gd2O2S:Pr scintillation ceramics • Geoceramics pour immobilization de Sr-Cs-fractions de high level waste • Investigations sur radiation induced dimensional changes en graphite • Review de research, application et development sur glow discharge ion sources Le volume 4 contains 28 chapters authored by 57 researchers and/or academicians from 17 nations, namely Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Germany, Inde, Iran, Italy, Japan, Republic de Korea, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Ukraine, United Kingdom et United States de America presenting a glimpse de le various research activities being carried out en different parts de le world en le field de Nuclear Énergie.
