Nuclear Energy, Second Edition, edited by Nicholas Tsoulfanidis. A volume in Springer's Encyclopedia of Sustainability Science and Technology Series, this book, edited by an ANS Fellow, is an authoritative reference on all aspects of the nuclear energy enterprise for both fission and fusion reactors. Featuring 22 peer-reviewed chapters by recognized authorities in the field, Nuclear Energy provides concise yet comprehensive coverage of fundamentals, current areas of research, and goals for the future. Topics range from fundamental reactor physics calculations, reactor design, nuclear fuel resources, and the nuclear fuel cycle to radiation detection and protection and the economics of nuclear power. All chapters have been updated from the first edition, and new chapters on small modular reactors and medical applications of radioisotopes have been added. As each chapter was written by an acknowledged expert in the area, the text is accurate and up-to-date and will appeal to a broad audience of undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and energy industry experts.
