The Nuclear Fuel Cycle
From Ore to Waste
Gebonden Engels 1996 9780198565406Samenvatting
Nuclear power issues have long been controversial, and often discussed from an inadequate or mistaken understanding. This book is a factual description of the whole fuel cycle, with individual chapters on specific topics from uranium mining, through the manufacture and use of fuel, to recycled products, waste disposal and progress towards a cleared site. Basic principles, environmental radioactivity (both natural and artificial) and provisions for safety are also covered.
The level is pitched at a general scientific readership and although the viewpoint is naturally pro-nuclear, the aim is to inform rather than persuade. Where options are disputed, as whether fuel should be reprocessed or discarded directrly, both are described. Current practices, and the reasons for them are described and the final chapter suggests possible changes for the future.
