First published in 1978, Helen Caldicott's cri du coeur about the dangers of nuclear power became an instant classic. In the intervening sixteen years much has changed--the Cold War is over, nuclear arms production has decreased, and there has been a...

The nuclear workers and scientists who tell their stories in this book testify to the lie that has been sold to the American people. Nuclear energy is not safe, not clean, not cheap.Book InformationISBN 9780393300338Author Leslie John FreemanFormat...

This book deals with the specific contact between the fourth state of matter, i.e. plasma, and the first state of matter, i.e. a solid wall, in controlled fusion experiments. A comprehensive analysis of the main processes of plasma-surface interaction is...

Building Energy Management Systems and Techniques: Principles, Methods, and Modelling presents basic concepts, methodologies, modeling techniques, and fundamental design schemes of building energy management systems. Covering the latest developments and...

The American experience with respect to electrical power production has undergone and is undergoing considerable evolution. Early, frequently strident debates tended to focus on the risks and benefits of only one pos sible power source (nuclear), and on...

Nuclear fuel materials are those that are capable of undergoing fission reactions along with the liberation of enormous quantity of energy. The fuel cycle costs are 20% of nuclear electricity generation cost. This new book evaluates the use of the damped...
