This book describes the ideal magnetohydrodynamic theory for magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Advanced topics are presented in attempting to fill the gap between the up-to-date research developments and plasma physics textbooks. Nevertheless, they are self-contained and tra…
Nuclear energy is contributing to the long-term solution to stave off climate change. However, current nuclear fission technology accesses only about 1-3% of the nuclear energy content of natural uranium, which is inefficient, and also creates a radioactive waste disposal proble…
"The sequence of chapters in this Thirteenth Edition is identical to that in the previous edition. Personality profiles continue with every chapter, highlighting a scientist, teacher, or historical figure who complements the chapter material. Each chapter begins with a photo mon…
The volume Radiological Protection is not only a compilation of numerical data and functional relationships for practical purposes. Rather a comprehensive accompanying text is intended to impart to the scientific or professional user of Radiological Protection both data, the con…
The third edition of this classic text presents a complete introduction to plasma physics and controlled fusion, written by one of the pioneering scientists in this expanding field. It offers both a simple and intuitive discussion of the basic concepts of the subject matter and…
