Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Energiewende: Politikwissenschaftliche
Book SynopsisDie Energiewende ist inzwischen Gegenstand der sozialwissenschaftlichen Fachdisziplinen geworden. Häufig konzentriert sich die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung auf einen speziellen Themenkomplex. Im vorliegenden Sammelband werden erstmals originär politikwissenschaftliche Beiträge gebündelt. Das Themenspektrum reicht von Energiearmut bis zu Energiewende-Governance: Lokale Konflikte, politische Partizipation und soziales Engagement sowie regionale Strategien werden umfassend dargestellt. Daneben werden Energiepolitiken anderer Länder analysiert sowie eine theoretische Einordnung der Energietransformation vorgenommen. Der Band bietet damit einen ersten Einstieg in die Welt der Energiewende aus politikwissenschaftlicher Perspektive.Trade Review“... Er bietet eine Übersicht des aktuellen Forschungsstands zur Energiewende und zeichnet die sich im Zuge der Transformation ergebenden gesellschaftlichen Konfliktlinien nach. ... Von seiner starken Seite zeigt sich dieser Sammelband in empirisch fundierten Einzelkapiteln, die mit überraschenden und theoretisch gut abgesicherten Ergebnissen aufwarten. Gerade zur Thematik Partizipation/Akzeptanz bietet der Band eine Reihe sehr wertvoller Beiträge ...” (Sebastian Strunz, in: Politische Vierteljahresschrift PVS, Jg. 61, 2020) “... Zusammenfassend lässt sich festhalten, dass es den Herausgebern gelingt, sowohl durch ihre breite Definition von Populismus als auch durch die Vielfalt der Beiträge zu zeigen, dass es sich beim Energiewende-Populismus um ein internationales und vielgestaltiges Phänomen handelt ... handelt es sich um einen überaus lesenswerten Sammelband, der eine hervorragende Orientierung in diesem heterogenen und konfliktreichen Politikfeld bietet.” (Martin Repohl, in: Portal für Politikwissenschaft, pw-portal.de, 21. Januar 2020) “... Hervorzuheben sind insbesondere ... Beiträge, da diese das Potenzial einer dezidiert politikwissenschaftlichen Perspektive verdeutlichen ... Die Stärke des Bandes liegt vor allem in seiner thematischen Heterogenität bei einer gleichzeitig thematisch anschlussfähigen Selbstverortung im Bereich der Policy- und Governanceforschung. Durch die Herausarbeitung von Bezügen zur Partizipations- und Legitimationsforschung eignet sich der Band hervorragend als Einführung in die politikwissenschaftliche Energiewendeforschung.” (Martin Repohl, in: Portal für Politikwissenschaft, pw-portal.de, 17.

NIAS Press The Shanghai Cooperation Organization: New
Book SynopsisIn its first decade of existence, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has developed into a key regional security group in Asia. Alarmists believe that the SCO is making itself into a NATO of the East, thus posing a long-term threat to the West, while others point to a "looseness" in the SCO that prevents it from becoming a cohesive group like NATO. Indeed, Sino-Russian rivalry is said to be a major obstacle for the SCO's long-term sustainability. Even so, the key importance of several SCO member states in the fields of economic development and energy production means that political developments within the SCO can soon no longer be ignored by the global market. Despite these factors - and even though its member states could be said to represent no less than "half of humanity" - the organization has long been disregarded by political leaders in the West and is seldom reported in Western media or analysed in academic works. As such, this ground-breaking volume with contributors from across the region and beyond will be a key reference for many specialists and academics working on Asian affairs. Aimed at political scientists and area specialists with an interest in Asian affairs, this volume is also intended to be of use in courses on contemporary geopolitics, security and foreign policy in Central Asia, Russia and China as well as offering unique perspectives to students in both political science and area studies. Certain chapters may also be helpful for scholars and students within the field of economics and energy studies. This volume is the result of a series of seminars and workshops on the SCO conducted within the framework of the Stockholm International Program for Central Asian Studies (SIPCAS). The initiator and leader of this book project was Professor Birgit Schlyter, Head of SIPCAS and presently Director of the Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul.Table of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Claeys & Casteels Publishers BV Energy Scenarios and Policy Volume II: Handbook
Book SynopsisThis book was originally published by Claeys and Casteels, now formally part of Edward Elgar Publishing. Sub-Saharan Africa is on the move. Since 2000, the region has seen rapid economic growth (with real GDP growth rates outperforming other major regional economic blocs), improving social conditions (with falling infant mortality rates and rising life expectancies) and progressive political liberalization (if in the 1990s only about 5% of African nations were considered to be democracies, today only a handful of the 55 African states do not have a multiparty constitutional system). Notwithstanding the fact that Africa’s energy sector is vital to its socio-economic development, this remains one of the most poorly understood parts of the global energy system. This book seeks to contribute to the understanding of such a topical issue, by providing an analysis of the current trends and future prospects of sub-Saharan energy markets. Issues covered include patterns of energy production, demand and trade; energy investments; energy infrastructure; energy access; energy and development; regional energy cooperation; the role of China in Africa’s energy.

IAEA Guidelines for the Determination of Standardized
Book SynopsisThe operational useful lifetime of semiconductor electronic devices working in harsh radiation environments is limited by the structural defects induced by the exposure to ionizing radiation. This has immediate consequences for their use in high radiation environments, for example in nuclear facilities, satellites, radiotherapy, medical diagnostics, security and other industries. This publication establishes a standardized procedure to quantify the radiation hardness of semiconductor diode materials in a way that is independent of the irradiation parameters and biasing conditions of the device. The established parameter reflects the additional free charge carrier trapping cross section induced by the damaging radiation, normalized to the predicted concentration of generated vacancies by the same radiation. The effectiveness of the approach is validated through different types of ion beam irradiations, characterizations and materials used. The work leads towards approaches to predict the radiation induced effects on device performance for more complex electronic structures.

IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive
Book SynopsisThe transport of radioactive material is an essential activity worldwide. Both safety and security during transport are matters of national and international importance. This publication is the latest edition of the IAEA Safety Requirements for the safe transport of radioactive material. It is supported by six IAEA Safety Guides which provide explanation and guidance for the SSR-6 requirements to facilitate harmonized implementation. The SSR-6 Regulations apply to the transport of radioactive material by all modes on land, water, or in the air, including transport that is incidental to the use of the radioactive material.Transport comprises all operations and conditions associated with, and involved in, the movement of radioactive material; these include the design, manufacture, maintenance and repair of packaging, and the preparation, consigning, loading, carriage including in-transit storage, unloading and receipt at the final destination of loads of radioactive material and packages. These requirements form an integral part of regulations worldwide, therefore SSR-6 and its associated guidance documents are a requisite source of guidance information for governments, regulators, and all individuals involved in the aforementioned activities of transport of radioactive material.These requirements are adopted into the UN Model Regulations which are subsequently adopted by the IMDG Code by the International Maritime Organisation for shipment by sea and by the International Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions for shipment by air. Both the IMDG Code and the ICAO Technical Instructions are globally implemented and mandatory. Land transport is the responsibility of the national government of each Member State, and the SSR-6 requirements are adopted for national transport safety regulations for shipments on land.

IAEA Design of Fuel Handling and Storage Systems for
Book SynopsisThis Safety Guide provides recommendations on how to meet the requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSR?2/1 (Rev. 1), Safety of Nuclear Power Plants: Design, in relation to fuel handling and storage systems. The publication addresses the design aspects of handling and storage systems for fuel that remain part of the operational activities of a nuclear reactor. It covers the following stages of fuel handling and storage in a nuclear power plant: receipt, storage and inspection of fresh fuel before use and transfer of fresh fuel into the reactor; removal of irradiated fuel from the reactor and transfer of the irradiated fuel to the spent fuel pool; and reinsertion of irradiated fuel from the spent fuel pool into the reactor. Recommendations are also provided on the storage, inspection and repair of irradiated or spent fuel in the spent fuel pool, and the preparation for the removal of this fuel from the spent fuel pool and on the handling of fuel casks in the spent fuel pool and on their transfer.

IAEA Data Analysis and Collection for Costing of
Book SynopsisThis publication reports on the DACCORD project, which supports Member States in preparing preliminary cost estimates for the decommissioning of research reactors. The report is of particular benefit to programmes with limited decommissioning experience. Costing projects for the decommissioning of research reactors can be broad in scope with many possible inputs and influences that require due consideration in developing the estimate. The publication provides information on unit factors for research reactor decommissioning and a basis for estimating uncertainties and contingencies and for assessing the impact of decommissioning planning and characterization activities. It also addresses the use of the CERREX?D2 (Cost Estimate for Research Reactors in Excel) software code, developed by the IAEA to enable non?specialist users to develop preliminary cost estimates for decommissioning.
