The nuclear fuel cycle is characterised by the wide range of
scientific disciplines and technologies it employs. The development
of ever more integrated processes across the many stages of the
nuclear fuel cycle therefore confronts plant manufacturers and
operators with formidable challenges. Nuclear fuel cycle science
and engineering describes both the key features of the complete
nuclear fuel cycle and the wealth of recent research in this
important field. Part one provides an introduction to the nuclear
fuel cycle. Radiological protection, security and public acceptance
of nuclear technology are considered, along with the economics of
nuclear power. Part two goes on to explore materials mining,
enrichment, fuel element design and fabrication for the uranium and
thorium nuclear fuel cycle. The impact of nuclear reactor design
and operation on fuel element irradiation is the focus of part
three, including water and gas-cooled reactors, along with CANDU
and Generation IV designs. Finally, part four reviews spent nuclear
fuel and radioactive waste management. With its distinguished
editor and international team of expert contributors, Nuclear fuel
cycle science and engineering provides an important review for all
those involved in the design, fabrication, use and disposal of
nuclear fuels as well as regulatory bodies and researchers in this
field.
