This book is intended as an introductory exposition of those
nuclear energy systems concepts which are characterized by an
integrated utiliz ation of complementary nuclear processes. Basic
to such systems is the notion of synergism, which herein implies
the cooperative interaction of selected nuclear reactions and
system components so as to provide overall advantages not possible
otherwise. While the concept of nuclear energy synergism has in
recent years become the focus of an increasing number of
conferences, scientific papers, and institutional in-house reports,
no text which encompasses the major topics of the subject at a
conceptual and analytical level has appeared. It is our aim to
present a systematic characterization of these emerging nuclear
energy concepts suitable for the senior university student of
nuclear science and engineering as well for the active pro
fessional involved in nuclear energy systems planning and analysis.
In addressing the subject of nuclear energy synergism we have
become most conscious of the tension between realism and vision in
nuclear energy technology. As developed here, our perception of
nuclear energy synergism is firmly rooted in the present and then
seeks to proceed toward a heightened degree of compatibility and
efficacy based on an enhanced integration of relevant nuclear
processes. It is our view that such conceptual considerations must
assume a greater role in the emerging techological orientation of
nuclear energy systems planning.
