The Nuclear Imperative: A Critical Look at the Approaching Energy Crisis

In light of the crucial energy issues facing all Inations, nuclear physicistJeff Eerkens decided the world needed a wakeup call, and he delivers one in his new book, "The Nuclear Imperative: A Critical Look at the Approaching Energy Crisis." Eerkens, a research professor at the University of Missouri Nuclear Science and Engineering Institute, addresses growing concerns over oil dependence and climate change. Recognizing that carbon dioxide emissions from coal plants contribute to global warming, he concludes that nuclear power is the only clean source of energy that can meet burgeoning energy demands. The book scientifically discredits both the longstanding public phobia of nuclear power and the belief that alternate sources of energy—such as solar, wind and biomass power—can produce the necessary quantities of energy to supply current use.In light of the significant amount of time required to bring new nuclear reactors on line, Eerkens urges immediate action to avoid an impending energy crisis.

Nuclear Energy in the 21st Century: World Nuclear University Press

The onset of the 21st century has coincided with mounting scientific evidence of the severe environmental impact of global energy consumption. In response, governments and environmentalists on every continent have begun to re-evaluate the benefits of nuclear power as a clean, non-emitting energy resource. Today nuclear power plants operate in some 30 countries, and nuclear energy has become a safe and reliable source of one-sixth of the worlds electricity. This base has the potential to be expanded widely as part of a worldwide clean-energy revolution.

Nuclear Models

Nuclear Models is a thorough introduction to the most important concepts and methods in this field. It is for students of theoretical and experimental physics, and scientists needing a reference and exercise book for this subject. The book presents the necessary mathematical tools along with many examples and worked problems. Rather than the presentation of a large number of results, the emphasis is on a discussion of the physical ideas underlying the models and the mathematical techniques employed. Readers with a background in quantum mechanics will thus become acquainted with the necessary advanced methods from group theory and many-body physics. In addition to the standard collective and single-particle models, a number of current topics are discussed.
