Nukenomics developed from a series of business-level articles that I wrote for Nuclear Engineering International magazine looking at,the private sector nuclear market emerging in Britain. Once an industry run mainly by scientists and engineers, the nuclear sector has been substantially commercialised by the British government, introducing a much stronger business culture to nuclear operations. …
In the case of radioactive wastes from reprocessed nuclear fuel and certain defence operations, vitrification has been the vanguard of past and current treatment options. More recently, the threat of global warming and the need for low carbon energy sources has brought nuclear issues back to the forefront of scientific, technical and public awareness, with the building of new nuclear power plan…
This Physics of Modern Brachytherapy for Oncology is the most comprehensivernbrachytherapy textbook for physicists that has so far been written andrnintentionally includes chapters on basic physics that are necessary for anrnunderstanding of modern brachytherapy. The book therefor stands alonernas a total reference book, with readers not having to consult other texts tornobtain information on t…

DI INDONESIA, penggunaan teknologi maju dengan memanfaatkan zat radioaktif dan radiasi nuklir meliputi berbagai sektor, seperti:-industri pabrikan, medik, pertambangan, penelitian, pendidikan, pelatihan, dan lain-lain. Teknologi ini menyimpan potensi bahaya (hazards) radiasi nuklir. Menurut International Labour Organization (ILO), hazards tersebut harus diidentifikasi, dikomunikasikan dan dikel…
Separating reactors operating with discontinuous or periodic contacting fall into two groups: chromatographic reactors and reactors based on pressure swing adsorption. These differ by the requirement for continuous carrier gas flow in the former. Nevertheless, both groups of reactors exploit local nonequilibrium. They are dynamic (that is they are described by time varying variables), but may e…
Computational fluid mechanics (CFD) and computational heat transfer (CRT) continue to evolve at a significant pace and have become an ever increasing presence in standard engineering design and analysis practice. The seemingly endless increase in computing power in both single processor and parallel environments' has allowed realistic problems of significant complexity and fidelity to be routin…

As indicated by its title, this book deals with energy systems, i.e. energy conversion technologies (ECTs) considered as systems based on sets of elementary components coupled together. Although it mainly addresses thermodynamic energy conversion, it covers a very large field, including a variety of cycles: conventional as well as innovative power plants, gas turbines, reciprocating engines, St…
The idea of documenting the advances achieved in the field of light water reactor severe accident safety research in the form of a book originated during the development of the research program for the Severe Accident Research Network of Excellence (SARNET), coordinated by IRSN France, that was started in March 2004, under the auspices of the Sixth Framework Research Program of the European Com…
