Download or read book Nuclear Accidents written by Jean-Claude Amiard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detailing the estimation and perception of nuclear risk, this book follows military and civilian nuclear accidents, plus the systems put in place by national and international authorities for recording and analyzing feedback. Prevention and anticipation being the best defenses against a nuclear accident, the authorities have also categorized the different types of accidents, and are doing research to better understand and control them. In light of this, this book shows how the authorities take practical measures to protect neighboring populations and limit radioactive contamination of the environment. Frances experience in this arena is well-documented and a chapter of this book is devoted to the fight against terrorist attacks in the nuclear field. Nuclear Accidents is based on scientifically-recognized publications, as well as on reports from the various countries concerned, and the national and international organizations competent in this field (IAEA, WHO, UNSCEAR, IRSN, etc.).
Download or read book Nuclear Economy 2 written by Jacques Percebois and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the factual, precise, complete and accessible economic elements of nuclear energy in order to contribute to an informed and dispassionate debate. It analyzes the economic aspects of spent fuel management, including the costs and financing of long-term storage and deep geological disposal. The economic costs of a nuclear accident are also discussed from both theoretical and applied angles, based on the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Nuclear Economy 2 also examines the industrial and political aspects of the future energy mix. Nuclear energy is thus placed in the more global context of the European electricity market. Finally, this book offers a panorama of energy scenarios on the scale of France, but also of the world.

Numerous appendices are included to provide additional detail to information presented in chapters. Because Fundamentals of Radiochemistry is the first book to discuss what chemical information can be obtained with sub-tracer amounts, it is essential reading for inorganic chemists, radiochemists, analytical chemists, nuclear chemists and others interested in the topic.
Download or read book Management of Radioactive Waste written by Jean-Claude Amiard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classification of radioactive waste varies from state to state. This results in different management procedures for each country, while following IAEA and OECD/NEA recommendations. Radioactive waste comes from numerous sources. The largest volumes are generated by the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities. Long-lived, medium- and high-activity waste – categorized as the most hazardous types of waste – are in fact largely produced by nuclear power reactors, spent fuel reprocessing plants and nuclear accidents. Final disposal of very low-activity, low-activity and very short-lived waste is well controlled. However, final solutions for certain categories, including long-lived waste, sorted waste and spent graphite waste, are not yet in place. Management of Radioactive Waste reviews all the possible solutions and presents those chosen by the various states, including a chapter detailing policy on radioactive waste management, taking France as an example.

Download or read book Le risque radioactif Devenir des radionucl ides dans l environnement et impacts sur la sant written by AMIARD Jean-Claude and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’utilisation et la gestion de l’énergie nucléaire sont des sujets sensibles. Chaque accident nucléaire majeur qui se produit soulève de nombreuses et nouvelles interrogations sur les risques radioactifs pour l’environnement et la biodiversité, et l’impact des radionucléides sur les êtres vivants et la santé. S’inscrivant au cœur du débat public, Le risque radioactif propose une synthèse complète des connaissances actuelles sur les principaux polluants radioactifs de l’environnement (uranium, transuraniens, isotopes radioactifs du césium, du strontium, de l’iode, du tritium, du carbone et de divers métaux de transition…), leur comportement et leur devenir dans les divers compartiments physiques des milieux et au sein des organismes vivants, dont l’homme. Il présente de façon claire et raisonnée : - les fondements de la physique et de la chimie nucléaires ainsi que leurs applications dans différents domaines (militaire, énergie, médecine, industrie…). Il aborde également les notions à connaître d’écologie et de génétique, et rappelle les origines anthropiques des radionucléides dans l’environnement ; - les grands principes de la radioécologie, discipline consacrée à l’étude des radionucléides, le comportement de ces derniers dans l’environnement (atmosphère, hydrosphère et lithosphère), leur mode de contamination et leur effet néfaste sur les organismes non humains ; - les principaux risques radioactifs pour l’homme (exposition, imprégnation), les mécanismes de contamination et leurs conséquences sur la santé (effets des irradiations) ; - les principaux inconvénients de l’utilisation de l’énergie nucléaire que sont les déchets radioactifs et leur gestion, et les accidents nucléaires et leur impact. Véritable ouvrage de référence multidisciplinaire, Le risque radioactif s’adresse aux ingénieurs, techniciens et industriels concernés par l’évaluation, la prévention et la gestion des risques radioactifs, aux responsables « environnement » des entreprises et collectivités ainsi qu’aux autorités de sûreté nucléaire. Il sera également utile aux enseignants et étudiants de troisième cycle ainsi qu’à toute personne souhaitant mieux comprendre le risque radioactif.
Download or read book Being Nuclear written by Gabrielle Hecht and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hidden history of African uranium and what it means—for a state, an object, an industry, a workplace—to be “nuclear.” Uranium from Africa has long been a major source of fuel for nuclear power and atomic weapons, including the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. In 2003, after the infamous “yellow cake from Niger,” Africa suddenly became notorious as a source of uranium, a component of nuclear weapons. But did that admit Niger, or any of Africa's other uranium-producing countries, to the select society of nuclear states? Does uranium itself count as a nuclear thing? In this book, Gabrielle Hecht lucidly probes the question of what it means for something—a state, an object, an industry, a workplace—to be “nuclear.” Hecht shows that questions about being nuclear—a state that she calls “nuclearity”—lie at the heart of today's global nuclear order and the relationships between “developing nations” (often former colonies) and “nuclear powers” (often former colonizers). Hecht enters African nuclear worlds, focusing on miners and the occupational hazard of radiation exposure. Could a mine be a nuclear workplace if (as in some South African mines) its radiation levels went undetected and unmeasured? With this book, Hecht is the first to put Africa in the nuclear world, and the nuclear world in Africa. By doing so, she remakes our understanding of the nuclear age.
Download or read book Annuaire Europeen 1989 European Yearbook 1989 written by Council of Europe/Conseil de L'Europe and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1991-06-14 with total page 1154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "European Yearbook" has expanded over the years in keeping with the role played by European institutions compared with national ones. It is an indispensable work of reference for anyone dealing with these institutions, which have become so numerous and varied that no-one can possibly memorise all their acronyms or functions. The "European Yearbook" provides aids for finding one's way through the labyrinth of these organisations which coordinate a variety of activities in over 20 countries. One of the aids is an 'organisation chart' at the beginning of the documentary section, giving a clear picture of the general situation. A perusal of the many contributions in the volume organisation by organisation, shows the full diversity of the activities which Europe is gradually taking over from national governments, with their consent and financial support. Written in both of the Council of Europe's official languages, English and French, the "European Yearbook" also contains a general index by subject and name which constitutes a very valuable list of articles and provides direct access to the work's subject matter, regardless of the particular organisation concerned, offering a kind of cross-section of the activities of European organisations.
