Description:
This text describes the materials of special importance in nuclear reactors and the processes that have been developed to concentrate, purify, separate, and store safely these materials. Because of the growth in nuclear
technology since the first edition appeared and the great amount of published new information, this second edition is an entirely new book, following the first edition only in its general outline. Lists the special materials of importance in nuclear technology and outlines the relationship between nuclear reactors and the chemical production plants associated with them, and describes the changes in composition and reactivity that occur during irradiation of fuel in a nuclear reactor and shows how these changes determine the material and processing requirements of the reactor's fuel cycle.
