"Nuclear Energy" is one of the most popular texts ever published
on basic nuclear physics, systems, and applications of nuclear
energy. This newest edition continues the tradition of offering a
holistic treatment of everything the undergraduate engineering
student needs to know in a clear and accessible way. The book
presents a comprehensive overview of radioactivity, radiation
protection, nuclear reactors, waste disposal, and nuclear
medicine.
The seventh edition is restructured into three parts: Basic
Concepts, Nuclear Power (including new chapters on nuclear power
plants and introduction to reactor theory), and Radiation and Its
Uses. Part Two in particular has been updated with current
developments, including a new section on Reactor Safety and
Security (with a discussion of the Fukushima Diiachi accident);
updated information on naval and space propulsion; and revised and
updated information on radioactive waste storage, transportation,
and disposal. Part Three features new content on biological effects
of radiation, radiation standards, and radiation detection.

Nuclear Energy: An Introduction to the Concepts, Systems, and
Applications of Nuclear Processes, Eighth Edition, provides
essential information on basic nuclear physics, systems and the
applications of nuclear energy. It comprehensively covers Basic
Concepts, Radiation and Its Uses, and Nuclear Power, providing
students with a broad view of nuclear energy and science in a
fast-paced format that features updated, timely content on topics
of new and growing importance to current and future nuclear
professionals, such as tritium-powered betavoltaic integrated
circuit chips, the modulation of radioactive decay constant due to
solar activity, Monte Carlo radiation transport calculations and
accelerator-driven systems. This book is an essential resource for
any first course on nuclear energy and systems.
Robert Lee was born in Halifax, Virginia in 1798, seven years
before Robert E. Lee was born. Some people claim they were cousins,
but no documentation was found. He moved to Sequatchie Valley,
Tennessee as a teenager and on to Bradley County. He was opposed to
secession and was a strong Union man when the Civil War broke out.
Once of his sons joined the Union Army. The third so was a very
religious man who refused to fight and hid out in the White Oak
Mountains.
The Indian discovery on the Lee farm added a prehistoric view to
the historic facts of the Civil War. The archeological report of
Indian activity, back to before the time of Christ gives a good
picture of things that happened on the Lee farm.
When you cross an Oxford graduate with a young man seeking gold and
adventure in the remote wilderness, the result is Nahanni Journals.
In this fascinating account of Raymond Patterson, a Londoner who
finds his destiny in the Nahanni and Flat Rivers region of the
Northwest Territories, Richard C. Davis reveals to us an
extraordinary life. Patterson's adventures are as swift and
unpredictable as the river he canoes. Outdoor enthusiasts,
historians, lovers of travel, and anyone interested in captivating
stories will enjoy accompanying Patterson for the ride.
