The editors have pleasure in presenting this volume of our review
series. We have specialised in three areas: perturbation Monte
Carlo, non-linear kinetics and the transfer of radioactive fluids
in rocks. These contributions are linked, however, in the demands
for optimising complex systems that are a feature of the scale of
nuclear power production. Kuniharu Kishida's account of Japanese
thinking in the application of modern non-linear theory to reactor
kinetics and control comes at a time when the community of control
scholars is seeking how to apply the new ideas that have led to the
prominence of chaos theory to our field. Pr- lems of maintenance in
power reactors are as severe as ever and must be solved for
credibility to characterise any new program. As much as 30% of
unanticipated down-time, for example, is due to the failure of
motor op- ated valves. We need a theory to provide for preventive
maintenance. This in turn depends heavily on on-line monitoring to
anticipate failure as well as expert systems to schedule preventive
treatment. Noise theory with its promise of on-line interpretation
of information from inchoate breakdown is the key. It is all too
likely that the need to deal with major departures makes a
non-linear theory of noise essential. We can be grateful that P-
fessor Kishida has provided us with such a consistent account.
