A Brief History of Nuclear Reactor Accidents (Springer Praxis Books) (Popular Science)
by Serge Marguet
Are you afraid of a nuclear reactor accident? Should you be? This book will arm you with the scientific knowledge necessary to make a rational and informed opinion on the subject, without having to be an expert in nuclear physics. Written so that a non-specialist can easily approach the highly technical aspects, it looks at all significant nuclear reactor accidents since the dawn of the Atomic Age and brings to light many crucial details that rarely, if ever, appear in the general media. Serge M...
Es ist eine der wichtigsten und tiefsten Erkenntnisse der Physik, dass die Materie aus kleinsten unteilbaren Teilchen aufgebaut ist. Die Physik dieser Teilchen wird durch das Standardmodell, eine Theorie von grosser mathematischer Eleganz, beschrieben. Seit der vierten Auflage hat sich viel getan in der Hochenergiephysik. Eine Sensation war die Entdeckung der Neutrino-Oszillationen. Aber auch die Relevanz des Standardmodells fur Fragen der Astrophysik und der Kosmologie wird immer deutlicher. Di...
Each State has the primary responsibility to build the capacity of organizations and people in order to develop, implement, and sustain a nuclear security regime. To discharge its responsibilities, the State has to strengthen its capacity at national, organisational and individual levels. Specifically, the State has to be able to enhance the competences and capabilities of relevant stakeholders in fulfilling their responsibilities within the nuclear security regime. Such endeavour involves vario...
This book explains how society will face an energy crisis in the coming decades owing to increasing scarcity of fossil fuels and climate change impacts. It carefully explores this coming crisis and concisely examines all of the major technologies related to energy production (fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear) and their impacts on our society and environment. The author argues that it is wrong to pit alternatives to fossil fuels against each other and proposes that nuclear energy, although b...

This publication provides the outline of a programme to strengthen regulatory competences, based on the operating experience of countries with a developed nuclear programme and which are members of the Forum of Radiological and Nuclear Regulatory Agencies (FORO). The guidelines are designed to optimize the resources of the Ibero-American region and they complement and supplement the IAEA’s Safety Reports Series No. 79 as a frame of reference.
