Description for Fast Spectrum Reactors
Hardback. With a unique focus on the capabilities of fast spectrum reactors to address nuclear waste transmutation issues, this book describes how fast spectrum reactors contribute to the global nuclear renaissance while minimizing nuclear proliferation concerns. Editor(s): Waltar, Alan E.; Todd, Donald; Tsvetkov, Pavel V. Num Pages: 720 pages, 40 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHN; PNRL; THK; THRB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 185 x 263 x 46. Weight in Grams: 1572.
This book is a complete update of the classic 1981 FAST BREEDER REACTORS textbook authored by Alan E. Waltar and Albert B. Reynolds, which , along with the Russian translation, served as a major reference book for fast reactors systems. Major updates include transmutation physics (a key technology to substantially ameliorate issues associated with the storage of high-level nuclear waste ), advances in fuels and materials technology (including metal fuels and cladding materials capable of high-temperature and high burnup), and new approaches to reactor safety (including passive safety technology), New chapters on gas-cooled and lead-cooled fast spectrum reactors are also included.
