National radioactive waste management programmes are in various phases of siting facilities and rely on distinct technical approaches for different categories of waste. In all cases, it is necessary for institutional actors and the potential or actual host community to build a meaningful, workable...

This book addresses the linear and nonlinear two-phase stability of the one-dimensional Two-Fluid Model (TFM) material waves and the numerical methods used to solve it. The TFM fluid dynamic stability is a problem that remains open since its inception more than forty years ago. The difficulty is formidable...

Tokamak Engineering Mechanics offers concise and thorough coverage of engineering mechanics theory and application for tokamaks, and the material is reinforced by numerous examples. Chapter topics include general principles, static mechanics, dynamic mechanics, thermal fluid mechanics and multiphysics...

Membrane reactors are increasingly replacing conventional separation, process and conversion technologies across a wide range of applications. Exploiting advanced membrane materials, they offer enhanced efficiency, are very adaptable and have great economic potential. There has therefore been increasing...

Cementitious materials are being widely used as solidification/stabilisation and barrier materials for a variety of chemical and radioactive wastes, primarily due to their favourable retention properties for metals, radionuclides and other contaminants. The retention properties result from various...

Dieses Buch zeigt am Beispiel des komplexen Themas Entsorgung radioaktiver Reststoffe die Herangehensweise für disziplinübergreifende Zusammenarbeit und die transdisziplinäre Verknüpfung von Wissenschaft und Öffentlichkeit. Es bietet Praxisbezogene Vorschläge aus einem Forschungsprojekt zur...

This book examines the different spatial control techniques for regulation of spatial power distribution in advanced heavy water reactors (AHWR). It begins with a review of the literature pertinent to the modeling and control of large reactors. It also offers a nodal-core model based on finite difference...

El autor expone como construir un habitat, aislado del frio y la intemperie, capaz de producir su propia energía, reciclar el agua, reciclar el aire y producir alimentos para sus ocupantes, aun en el caso de quedar sepultados bajo toneladas de cenizas.

El autor analiza los problemas relacionados con el turismo espacial, y propone una forma de como un hotel espacial podria contar con una magnetosfera artificial para garantizar la seguridad de sus ocupantes por periodos prolongados de tiempo. Así mismo se propone el diseño de las partes principales de tal hotel espacial.

This book is aimed at Health Physicists wishing to gain a better understanding of the principles and practices associated with a light water reactor (LWR) radiation protection program. The role of key program elements is presented in sufficient detail to assist practicing radiation protection professionals...

The purpose of the Seminar was to provide an international interdisciplinary forum for in-depth discussions on the pros and cons of a denitration step by chemical means in the course of solidification of MAW (medium active waste) and HAW (highly active waste), prior to feeding the calciner or melter....

This book presents information on the development of a non-equilibrium approach to the study of heat and mass transfer problems using vapor-liquid interfaces, and demonstrates its application to a broad range of problems. In the process, the following peculiarities become apparent: 1. At vapor condensation...
