核燃料循环的特点是它采用了广泛的科学学科和技术。因此,在核燃料循环的许多阶段开发出越来越一体化的过程,给核电站制造商和运营商带来了巨大的挑战。核燃料循环科学与工程既描述了完整核燃料循环的关键特征,也描述了这一重要领域的最新研究成果。
第一部分介绍了核燃料循环。核技术的辐射防护、安全和公众接受,以及核能的经济性都被考虑在内。第二部分继续探讨铀和钍核燃料循环的材料开采、浓缩、燃料元件设计和制造。核反应堆设计和运行对燃料元件辐照的影响是第三部分的重点,包括水冷和气冷反应堆,以及CANDU和第四代设计。最后,第四部分回顾了乏核燃料和放射性废物管理。
《核燃料循环科学与工程》拥有杰出的编辑和国际专家贡献团队,为所有参与核燃料设计、制造、使用和处置的人员以及该领域的监管机构和研究人员提供了重要的回顾。

Nuclear Fuel Cycle Science and Engineering
The nuclear fuel cycle is characterised by the wide range of scientific disciplines and technologies it employs. The development of ever more integrated processes across the many stages of the nuclear fuel cycle therefore confronts plant manufacturers and operators with formidable challenges. Nuclear fuel cycle science and engineering describes both the key features of the complete nuclear fuel cycle and the wealth of recent research in this important field.
Part one provides an introduction to the nuclear fuel cycle. Radiological protection, security and public acceptance of nuclear technology are considered, along with the economics of nuclear power. Part two goes on to explore materials mining, enrichment, fuel element design and fabrication for the uranium and thorium nuclear fuel cycle. The impact of nuclear reactor design and operation on fuel element irradiation is the focus of part three, including water and gas-cooled reactors, along with CANDU and Generation IV designs. Finally, part four reviews spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste management.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert contributors, Nuclear fuel cycle science and engineering provides an important review for all those involved in the design, fabrication, use and disposal of nuclear fuels as well as regulatory bodies and researchers in this field.
