Springer International Publishing AG Nuclear Fusion
Book SynopsisThe pursuit of nuclear fusion as an energy source requires a broad knowledge of several disciplines. These include plasma physics, atomic physics, electromagnetics, materials science, computational modeling, superconducting magnet technology, accelerators, lasers, and health physics. Nuclear Fusion distills and combines these disparate subjects to create a concise and coherent foundation to both fusion science and technology. It examines all aspects of physics and technology underlying the major magnetic and inertial confinement approaches to developing nuclear fusion energy. It further chronicles latest developments in the field, and reflects the multi-faceted nature of fusion research, preparing advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics and engineering to launch into successful and diverse fusion-related research.Nuclear Fusion reflects Dr. Morse’s research in both magnetic and inertial confinement fusion, working with the world’s top laboratories, and embodies his extensive thirty-five year career in teaching three courses in fusion plasma physics and fusion technology at University of California, Berkeley.Table of ContentsChapter 1 IntroductionFusion as an energy sourceWorld energy supply and demandAvailability of fusion fuelRisk factors for energy sources:Comparative risks of fusion to other energy technologiesProspects for a fusion energy technologyHistorical backgroundChapter 2 Fusion nuclear reactionsCross sections and reactivityResonant and non-resonant fusion reactionsReactivity models for maxwellian distributionsReactivity in beam-maxwellian systemsChapter 3 Energy gain and loss mechanisms in plasmas and reactorsCharged particle heatingOhmic heatingExternal heating methodsRadiation loss:Charge ExchangeReactor energy balanceLawson criterion and QPulsed vs. steady state energy balanceThermal conversion efficiencyBlanketsChapter 4 Magnetic ConfinementMHD fluid equationsPressure balanceMagnetic pressure concept and Z pinch: Bennett pinch theoremInstabilities in Z pinchPerhapsatronTokamak configurationGrad-Shafranov equationNumerical solutionsEffect of flow on equilibriumChapter 5 MHD instabilities Ideal MHDEnergy PrincipleInterchange instabilityKink and sausage instabilityWesson diagram for tokamak stabilityBallooning modesNumerical solutionsResistive MHDMagnetic Islands’ and Rutherford growthMagnetic stochasticity" theory="" and="" transportVlasov equationCollision operators Braginskii transport equationsTimescale hierarchy for electrons and ionsBeam slowing down Chapter 7 Neoclassical effectsPfirsch-Schluter regimeTrapped particlesBootstrap currentNeoclassical tearing modeELMs and MARFEsChapter 8 Waves in plasmaCold plasma dispersion relation: CMA diagramCutoffs and resonancesWarm plasma wavesWKB approximationRay tracing and accessibilityLaser-plasma interactionsChapter 9 RF heating in magnetic fusion devicesIon cyclotron heating: sources, antennas, transmission linesLower hybrid heating: sources, antennas, transmission linesElectron cyclotron heating: sources, antennas, transmission linesIon Bernstein waves and high harmonic fast wavesRF current driveRunaway electronsChapter 10 Neutral beam injectionPositive and negative ion sourcesNeutralization efficiencyChild-Langmuir lawBeam optics calculationsHigh voltage breakdown issuesChapter 11 Inertial confinement Direct vs. indirect driveLasers, optics, frequency doubling and triplingHohlraum designCapsule hydrodynamicsRayleigh-Taylor instabilityElectron preheat and mixHeavy ion driversFast ignitionNumerical simulationsChapter 12 MagnetsSuperconductivityThermal stabilityStress calculationsBending moments and torsional stabilityRadiation damageChapter 13 TritiumHealth issues: HTO vs. HTSievert’s law and leakage calculationsH-D-T separation processesAvailability and costHe-3 recoveryChapter 14 Materials issuesFirst wall: MFE vs. IFEThermal shock and fatigueThermal stress calculationsCoolant compatibilityPlasma-wall interactionRadiation damage: dpa cross sections and He productionEmbrittlement, void swelling, and creepComposite materialsDivertor and limiter designChapter 15 Vacuum systemsCryogenicsCryopumpsScroll pumpsConductance calculationsTransient response of vacuum systemsChapter 16 BlanketsLi vs. LiPb vs. LiO Tritium removalFire safetyressureFission hybrid decay heat issuesChapter 17 Economics and SustainabilityThe cost of moneyMaterial availabilityPlant lifetime considerationSite licensesAccident mitigation Is it “Green?”

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG The fourth generation of nuclear reactors:
Book SynopsisThis book is intended for readers who want to learn more about fourth-generation nuclear reactors without having to delve deeply into nuclear technology. These nuclear reactors are a number of visionary concepts for which special criteria have been set by the Generation IV International Forum with regard to safety, sustainability and economic efficiency. The book therefore describes, among other things, innovative water- and liquid-metal-cooled reactors, high-temperature and molten-salt reactors, and discusses their significance for the economy and society.The author imparts relevant basic knowledge of nuclear technology and then uses some illustrative examples to show what future opportunities this fourth generation of nuclear reactors will offer, but also what challenges will be associated with it.About the authorProf. Dr. -Ing. Thomas Schulenberg studied physics and mechanical engineering and received his doctorate in the field of sodium-cooled reactors. During his fourteen-year industrial career, he developed gas turbines for conventional power plants. Since 2000, Prof. Schulenberg was the head of the Institute for Nuclear and Energy Technology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, where he lectured on conventional power plant technology as well as nuclear power plant technology. As a member of the steering committee for fourth-generation water-cooled reactors, he was actively involved in the Generation IV International Forum for many years.Table of Contents1.

Springer Nuclear Power and Energy Security
Book SynopsisThe basic logic is very simple. Countries around the globe have a need for more electrical generating capacity because of increases in population and increases in energy use per capita. The needs are constrained by the requirement that the ba- load energy source be economical, secure, and not emit climate-changing gases. Nuclear power fits this description. Therefore, many countries that have not had a nuclear power program (or only had a small program) see a need to develop one in the future. However, the development of a national nuclear energy program is not so simple. The purpose of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Nuclear Power and Energy Security was to contribute to our understanding of how these programs might evolve. The workshop took place 26–29 May 2009 in Yerevan, Armenia. Approximately 50 participants discussed the infrastructure that is needed and some of the reactor options that might be considered. The papers in this book helped define the discussion that took place. The infrastructure that is needed includes a legal framework, a functioning regulator, a plan for waste disposal, a plan for emergency response, etc. These needs were explained and just as importantly, it was explained what international, bilateral, and regional cooperation is available. Although there were many co- tries represented, the Armenian experience was of particular interest because of where the meeting was located. The papers on reactor options covered both innovative and evolutionary designs.Table of ContentsPreface.- RA President’s Message.- Opening Remarks NATO Advanced Research Workshop; D.
