Developments at the nanoscale are leading to new possibilities and
challenges for nuclear applications in areas ranging from medicine
to international commerce to atomic power production/waste
treatment. Progress in nanotech is helping the nuclear industry
slash the cost of energy production. It also continues to improve
application reliability and safety measures, which remain a
critical concern, especially since the reactor disasters in Japan.
Exploring the new wide-ranging landscape of nuclear function,
Atomic Nanoscale Technology in the Nuclear Industry details the
breakthroughs in nanoscale applications and methodologies that are
revolutionizing power production, biotechnology, and material
science. Developments in atomic nanoscale technology have given us
the ability to: Use ion beams to Investigate and optimize radiation
energy losses at the nanoscopic level Assess nanoscopic safety
circumstances involved in a reactor failure Analyze characteristics
of nuclear spacecraft operating in the nanogravity of deep space
Evaluate light collection enhancement for digital X-ray detection
Apply brachytherapy using radioisotopes for cancer therapy Treat
nuclear waste at the nanoscopic level Use systems-thinking decision
making to analyze financial progress of nanotech in the energy
industry Assess safety (and safety management methods) for nuclear
nanomaterials used in plant operations Representing a first step in
multi-combinatorial research, this text incorporates advanced
studies that use Monte Carlo and solid-state measurement (including
radiation detection) methods. Researchers used these to demonstrate
the potential to upgrade methods of radiation protection and
nuclear reactor operation (safety, waste disposal, etc.). The
author also addresses how we can use nanotechnology to address
industrial concerns and enhance nuclear medicine techniques. He
highlights several nanomaterial systems and devices to illustrate
developments in this area. About the Author: Taeho Woo launched the
specialized field of atomic multinology (interdisciplinary research
of nuclear technology), which combines the application of
information technology, biotechnology, and nanotechnology in the
nuclear industry.
