Download or read book Nuclear Fission Reactors written by I. R. Cameron and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to provide an introduction to the basic principles of nuclear fission reactors for advanced undergraduate or graduate students of physics and engineering. The presentation is also suitable for physicists or engineers who are entering the nuclear power field without previous experience with nuclear reactors. No background knowledge is required beyond that typically acquired in the first two years of an undergraduate program in physics or engineering. Throughout, the emphasis is on explaining why particular reactor systems have evolved in the way they have, without going into great detail about reactor physics or methods of design analysis, which are already covered in a number of excellent specialist texts. The first two chapters serve as an introduction to the basic physics of the atom and the nucleus and to nuclear fission and the nuclear chain reaction. Chapter 3 deals with the fundamentals of nuclear reactor theory, covering neutron slowing down and the spatial dependence of the neutron flux in the reactor, based on the solution of the diffusion equations. The chapter includes a major section on reactor kinetics and control, including'tempera ture and void coefficients and xenon poisoning effects in power reactors. Chapter 4 describes various aspects offuel management and fuel cycles, while Chapter 5 considers materials problems for fuel and other constituents of the reactor. The processes of heat generation and removal are covered in Chapter 6.

Download or read book Heavy Water and the Wartime Race for Nuclear Energy written by Per F Dahl and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy water (deuterium oxide) played a sinister role in the race for nuclear energy during the World War II. It was a key factor in Germany's bid to harness atomic energy primarily as a source of electric power; its acute shortage was a factor in Japan's decision not to pursue seriously nuclear weaponry; its very existence was a nagging thorn in the side of the Allied powers. Books and films have dwelt on the Allies' efforts to deny the Germans heavy water by military means; however, a history of heavy water has yet to be written. Filling this gap, Heavy Water and the Wartime Race for Nuclear Energy concentrates on the circumstances whereby Norway became the preeminent producer of heavy water and on the scientific role the rare isotope of hydrogen played in the wartime efforts by the Axis and Allied powers alike. Instead of a purely technical treatise on heavy water, the book describes the social history of the subject. The book covers the discovery and early uses of deuterium before World War II and its large-scale production by Norsk Hydro in Norway, especially under German control. It also discusses the French-German race for the Norwegian heavy-water stocks in 1940 and heavy water's importance for the subsequent German uranium project, including the Allied sabotage and bombing of the Norwegian plants, as well as its lesser role in Allied projects, especially in the United States and Canada. The book concludes with an overall assessment of the importance and the perceived importance of heavy water for the German program, which alone staked everything on heavy water in its quest for a nuclear chain reaction.

This book was released on 2024-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India's three-stage nuclear power programme involves self sustaining Thorium closed fuel cycle based reactors. It has initiated design and development of the Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR). AHWR is a 920 MW (thermal) capac- ity, heavy water moderated, boiling light water cooled in natural circulation, vertical pressure tube type nuclear reactor. It is fueled by (Th-233U)O2 pins and (Th-Pu)O2 pins and the reactivity is mainly controlled by neutron absorber rods. Some advantages of Thorium-based fuel cycle are abundance of Thorium in In- dia, closed fuel cycle, reduction of radio toxicity of waste to a lower extent, proliferation resistance (prevent or discourage the production of weapon grade material). AHWR offers clean, sustainable nuclear energy, and is one of the flagship technologies of India's nuclear programme. The physical dimensions of AHWR are very large in comparison to neutron migration length, making it susceptible to Xenon induced oscillations and flux- tilting. These undesirable oscillations are common with large nuclear reactors which, if not controlled, can pose unequal spatial distribution of power and increase the chances of fuel failure. Thus it is necessary to devise a control strategy to regulate these spatial oscillations.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1961. This book gives the layman a better understanding of the nature of nuclear power and explains some of the major problems which have to be overcome in making practical use of it. It is concerned mainly with the different kinds of nuclear reactors - their underlying principles are explained and illustrated by reference to particular plants or design studies. Interested readers will find that the discussion of principles is full enough, and the range covered wide enough, to provide a broad view of the subject and a useful introduction to some more technical literature.
