Nuclear and Radiochemistry 2 Teile - Jens-Volker Kratz Gebunden

The leading resource for anyone looking for an accessible and authoritative introduction to nuclear and radiochemistry In the newly revised Fourth Edition of Nuclear and Radiochemistry: Fundamentals and Applications distinguished chemist Jens-Volker Kratz delivers a two-volume handbook that has become the gold standard in teaching and learning nuclear and radiochemistry. The books cover the theory and fundamentals of the subject before moving on the technical side of nuclear chemistry with coverage of nuclear energy nuclear reactors and radionuclides in the life sciences. This latest editi on discusses the details and impact of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear disasters as well as new research facilities including FAIR and HIM. It also incorporates new methods for target preparation and new processes for nuclear fuel recycling like EURO-GANEX. Finally the volumes extensively cover environmental technological advances and the effects of radioactivity on the environment. Readers will also find: - An accessible and thorough introduction to the fundamental concepts of nuclear physics and chemistry including atomic processes classical mechanics relativistic mechanics and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle - Comprehensive explorations of radioactivity in nature radioelements radioisotopes and their atomic masses and other physical properties of nuclei - Practical discussions of the nuclear force nuclear structure decay modes radioactive decay kinetics and nuclear radiation - In-depth examinations of the statistical considerations relevant to radioactivity measurements Written for practicing nuclear chemists and atomic physicists Nuclear and Radiochemistry: Fundamentals and Applications is also an indispensable resource for nuclear physicians power engineers and professionals working in the nuclear industry.
