商品描述
Concerns around climate change and the drive to net-zero carbon energy have led to a nuclear renaissance in many countries and, since the publication of the first edition of this book, we have seen an increase in the amount of the world's energy produced by nuclear power and new plants under construction. The nuclear industry continues to warn of the increasing need for a highly trained workforce and men and women are needed to perform R&D activities in a range of areas from healthcare and radiation detection to space exploration and advanced materials as well as for the nuclear power industry. Here, Karl Whittle provides an overview of the intersection of nuclear engineering and materials science at a level approachable by students from materials, engineering and physics. Written as a textbook for nuclear materials or nuclear engineering courses, the text explains the unique aspects needed in the design and implementation of materials for use in demanding nuclear settings. In addition to material properties and their interaction with radiation, the book covers a range of topics including reactor design, fuels, fusion, future technologies and lessons learned from past incidents. Featuring animated figures, this extensively updated and extended edition also includes a new chapter on materials characterisation.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
氣候變遷的擔憂以及追求淨零碳能源的推動，導致許多國家出現核能復興。自本書第一版出版以來，我們已經看到全球核能所產生的能源量增加，以及新核電廠的建設。核能產業持續警告對高素質訓練人力的需求日益增加，男性和女性都需要在從醫療保健、輻射檢測到太空探索和先進材料等多個領域進行研發活動，還有核電產業的需求。在這裡，Karl Whittle 提供了核工程與材料科學交集的概述，適合材料、工程和物理學的學生閱讀。這本書作為核材料或核工程課程的教科書，解釋了在要求嚴格的核環境中使用材料所需的獨特方面。除了材料特性及其與輻射的相互作用外，本書還涵蓋了一系列主題，包括反應堆設計、燃料、聚變、未來技術以及從過去事件中學到的教訓。這本經過廣泛更新和擴展的版本還包含了一個關於材料表徵的新章節，並配有動畫圖形。
作者簡介
Karl Whittle obtained his undergraduate degree at the University of Kent, a masters from the University of Aberdeen, and PhD from The Open University. After completing his PhD he undertook postdoctoral appointments at the universities of Bristol, Cambridge and Sheffield, researching amorphous materials, and nuclear waste options. He then moved to the Australia Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), where he led research into the effects on materials of radiation damage. In 2012 he moved back the UK as a Senior Lecturer in nuclear materials at the University of Sheffield, and in 2015 he moved to the University of Liverpool as the Chair in nuclear engineering. Over the years he has developed international research links, and has active collaborations across the world.
