Nuclear power plant is described as a power plant in which nuclear energy is converted into heat for use in producing steam. The main challenge faced globally is gathering enough energy forathe increa

Following a student conducting research, the reader learns about nuclear power as an energy source. This exciting title covers the history of nuclear power, its pros and cons, how we use nuclear power

Presents differing viewpoints on the risks involved in managing nuclear power, whether nuclear power is good for the environment, and if it is an economical source of energy.

This book offers a comprehensive assessment of the dynamics driving, and constraining, nuclear power development in Asia, Europe and North America, providing detailed comparative analysis.The book for

Discusses the future of nuclear reactors particularly whether smaller inexpensive reactors will become more prevalent or if reactors will become part of an alternative fuel economy.

The environmental implications of generating electric power from nuclear fission have been a matter of concern since the construction of the earliest nuclear reactors and power stations in the 1950s.

The discovery and application of nuclear power is one of the most profound scientific accomplishments of the 20th century, beginning with tentative explorations of the structure of matter, expanding i

Though nuclear energy provides much more power than fossils fuels like coal, its use is hotly debated because of the potential for radiation seeping into surrounding areas. Still, it is widely used a

Sometimes big things come in tiny packages. Atoms are the smallest forms of matter, but they can release huge amounts of energy. Today, about 20 percent of our electricity comes from nuclear power. Le

The restarting of nuclear power plant projects with delays of several years in respect of the original scheduled commercial operation date presents particular management issues. These are beyond the n

Sustainable Nuclear Power provides non-nuclear engineers, scientists and energy planners with the necessary information to understand and utilize the major advances in the field. The book demonstrat

"Introduces the history, uses, production, advantages and disadvantages, and future of nuclear energy as a power resource."

With over half the American public living near a reactor, nuclear power is one of the most urgent issues of contemporary life. If you read one book about nuclear energy, this should be the one. In tw

Hundreds of studies have investigated public perceptions and preferences about nuclear power, waste management, and technology. However there is clear lack of uniformity in the style, aims and methods

As the energy crisis deepens, alternative energy sources are being explored throughout the world. Although nuclear energy is powerful and dangerous, we have been able to harness its technology to ben

During the last century, nuclear power has been established as a reliable source of energy in the major industrialised countries. It has recently enjoyed a revival in attention and research due to the

This revised book covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics required to understand electrical power generation systems, honing in on the application of these principles to nuclear reactor power system

Nuclear energy leaves a legacy of decommissioning, clean up and radioactive waste. The problems persist in specific places and for long after nuclear production has ceased. These places form nuclear o

This book provides a concise but rigorous appraisal about the future of nuclear power and the presumed nuclear renaissance. It does so by assessing the technical, economic, environmental, political, a

Is nuclear power a thing of the past or a technology for the future? Has it become too expensive and dangerous, or is it still competitive and sufficiently safe? Should emerging countries invest in it? Can we trust calculations of the probability of a major nuclear accident? In the face of divergent claims and contradictory facts, this book provides an in-depth and balanced economic analysis of the main controversies surrounding nuclear power. Without taking sides, it helps readers gain a better understanding of the uncertainties surrounding the costs, hazards, regulation and politics of nuclear power. Written several years on from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011, this is an important resource for students, researchers, energy professionals and concerned citizens wanting to engage with the continuing debate on the future of nuclear power and its place in international energy policy.
