Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impact of Atomic Energy Down through history the Christian church has related itself to new conditions in varying ways and with varying degrees of effectiveness. Once people believed that the earth stood motion less in the center of the universe. The discovery of the earth's movement caused men to radically change their thinking. Once slavery was an accepted and honored social form. Today that institution is viewed as an abomination. Today nuclear power is a reality only fifteen years old. It is causing us to rethink our whole relationship to power. For this awesome power now in the hands of men puts mankind's future in the balance. It is a power which can be used for good or for evil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from There's Adventure in Atomic Energy This book will take you on a series of adventures in atomic energy. You'll find out what it's like to be a part of this wonderful new field. By learning a few of the basic principles of the science, and by performing the exciting experiments, you should be able to determine whether you'd like a career in atomic energy. Before you do the experiments, you should be aware that atomic energy isn't for the careless. You would not deliberately hold your finger in a flame, or drink a bottle of iodine. These things can be harmful if they are not handled carefully. It is the same with radio active substances. Radium paint from the dial of a clock should not be allowed to touch your bare skin. It is harmful if breathed, swallowed, or rubbed into an open sore. How ever, if you scrub your hands and tools after performing the experiments, and if you are careful not to Spread the paint dust into the air, it will not harm you. Any radium paint left over after your experiments can safely be gotten rid of by flushing it down the toilet. Thousands of people work safely with atomic energy every day. You can too. Perform your experiments care fully, and you'll find it very true that There's Adventure in Atomic Energy.

The overall status of nuclear power has changed rather little over the past eight years. Nuclear reactor construction remains at a very low ebb in much of the world, with the exception of Asia, while nuclear power’s share of the electricity supply continues to be about 75% in France and 20% in the United States. However,therearesignsofaheightenedinterestinconsideringpossible nuclear growth. In the late 1990s, the U. S.

Outside the United States, the commercial development ofthePebbleBedModularReactorisbeingpursuedinSouthAfrica,aFrench- German consortium has won an order from Finlandfor the long-plannedEPR (European Pressurized Water Reactor), and new reactors have been built or planned in Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Nuclear Energy: Its Potential for Peacetime Uses This volume is a direct outgrowth of many lectures that I have given on peacetime nuclear energy since the subject first became front-page news in 1945. In the dozen years that have now elapsed, the intense public interest has continued unabated, and rightly so. The wartime development was paid for completely by public funds, as has been most of the postwar program; hence the citizens in actuality own-most of the nuclear energy business in the United States - a two-billion-dollar-a-year business. In giving lectures to a wide variety of lay groups, I have always been impressed with the real eagerness of the listeners to learn something of nuclear energy, and their willingness to put in a few hours of concentrated effort in the process. The desire was not so much to be told astounding predictions of the future as to learn the solid facts of atomic structure, fission, the chain reaction, and the many applications of nuclear energy that are possible right now. Further, it was always gratifying that the listeners, with no technical training but with a keen desire to learn, could gain a real understanding of the basic principles in a short time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Fission to Fusion provides an insider's view of breakthrough science. Dr M.R. Srinivasan explains the birth and development of India's atomic energy programme, which grew with his own career from a senior research officer in the 1950s to the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and secretary of the Department of Atomic Energy (1987-90). This engrossing memoir explains how a team comprising India's leading physicists, chemists, engineers, metallurgists and other scientists came together to develop an atomic energy programme from scratch and take India into the forefront in this technology in a remarkably short time. Srinivasan relives the excitement of the days when India's first reactor, Apsara, went into operation in 1956. The success of that endeavour led to the generation of nuclear power at six locations throughout the country. Indian industry was mobilized to participate in the execution of the pressurized heavy water reactor programme and will be engaged in building enriched-uranium reactors and fast breeder reactors involving another leap in technology. These advancements are some of the many challenges Srinivasan puts in an economic and historical context.Alongside the account of the programme's giant strides is a moving portrayal of the people who made it possible and their extraordinary qualities as motivators. Ranking in the pantheon are Homi Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai, Homi Sethna, Brahm Prakash and N.B. Prasad. What stands out at the end of this compelling tale is an endeavour of high calibre whose contribution to the pride of an independent nation goes well beyond the equations of science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely and thought-provoking solution to the world's energy shortfall The dramatic increases in oil and natural gas prices, the finite supply of fossil fuels, and concerns over emissions and global warming are forcing us to consider alternatives. In this measured and knowledgeable book, energy experts Alan Herbst and George Hopley argue that the time has come for the U.S. to revitalize its nuclear generation assets in order to successfully meet growing domestic electricity requirements and lessen our dependence on foreign sources of energy. Nuclear Energy Now provides an informed look at the benefits and drawbacks associated with this controversial alternative to traditional energy sources. It opens with a brief overview of commercial nuclear development in the U.S. during the past half-century and moves on to discuss what the future may hold if new initiatives-supported by the Energy Policy Act of 2005-gain traction. Along the way, readers will find informed insights into why the need for nuclear power has become so critical and how we can safely add capacity in the coming years. Exploring all of the issues related to developing America's nuclear energy capabilities safely and cost-effectively, Nuclear Energy Now is a must-read for anyone concerned about our oil dependency, the environment, and future of the nation.

Download or read book Stalin and the Bomb written by David Holloway and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic and “utterly engrossing” study of Stalin’s pursuit of a nuclear bomb during the Cold War by the renowned political scientist and historian (Foreign Affairs). For forty years the U.S.-Russian nuclear arms race dominated world politics, yet the Soviet nuclear establishment was shrouded in secrecy. Then, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, David Holloway pulled back the Iron Curtain with his “marvelous, groundbreaking study” Stalin and the Bomb (The New Yorker). How did the Soviet Union build its atomic and hydrogen bombs? What role did espionage play? How did the American atomic monopoly affect Stalin's foreign policy? What was the relationship between Soviet nuclear scientists and the country's political leaders? David Holloway answers these questions by tracing the dramatic story of Soviet nuclear policy from developments in physics in the 1920s to the testing of the hydrogen bomb and the emergence of nuclear deterrence in the mid-1950s. This magisterial history throws light on Soviet policy at the height of the Cold War, illuminates a central element of the Stalinist system, and puts into perspective the tragic legacy of this program―environmental damage, a vast network of institutes and factories, and a huge stockpile of unwanted weapons.
