The book achieves its purpose convincingly, to provide an overall surveyof the nuclear industry understandable to readers with some background inscience. Emphasis is on the industry as it exists in Great Britain, but enoughmaterial is included about the history of the subject and about activitieselsewhere to give a balanced picture of the industry on a worldwide basis. Theauthors have provided us with a readable and most interesting account of oneimportant means of helping to satisfy the world's present and future energyneeds., 'Different parts of the nuclear cycle are explained clearly and interestingly, with enough technical content to satisfy readers modestly familiar with scientific terminology but not the minute detail of concern only to experts.............The book achieves its purpose convincingly, to provide an overall survey of the nuclear industry understandable to readers with some background in science.....................a readable and most interesting account of oneimportant means of helping to satisfy the world's present and future energy needs'Konrad B Krauskoff, Stanford UniversityThe book achieves its purpose convincingly, to provide an overall survey of the nuclear industry understandable to readers with some background in science.

Synopsis
Nuclear power issues have long been controversial, and often discussed from an inadequate or mistaken understanding. This book is a factual description of the whole fuel cycle, with individual chapters on specific topics from uranium mining, through the manufacture and use of fuel, to recycled products, waste disposal and progress towards a cleared site. Basic principles, environmental radioactivity (both natural and artificial) and provisions for safety are also covered.The level is pitched at a general scientific readership not necessarily familiar with the concepts, and although the viewpoint is naturally pro-nuclear, the aim is to inform rather than persuade. Where options are disputed, as whether used fuel should br reprocessed or discarded directly, both are described. The account is mainly of current practices, with the reasons for them. A final chapter suggests possible changes in the near or more distant future., The subject of nuclear power is fraught with controversy, and it is often discussed with an inadequate understanding of the science behind today's reactor technology. This book covers the entire nuclear fuel cycle, from mining uranium ore to disposal of radioactive wastes. It is intended for a broad audience of nonspecialist readers. Basic principles are fully explained, and topics such as environmental radioactivity--both naturally occurring and man-made--and safety issues are explored. Anyone interested in the operation of today's nuclear power-generating plants will want to have a copy of this informative volume., Nuclear power issues have long been controversial, and often discussed from an inadequate or mistaken understanding.
