Current national R\u0026amp;D plans are summarized. The  actinide-fuelled critical reactors are associated with control  problems, since they tend to have a small delayed neutron fraction  coupled with a small Doppler effect and a positive void coefficient.  Current thinking is turning to accelerator-driven subcritical systems  for the transmutation of actinides. \u003cbr\u003e  The book's conclusion is that the various systems proposed are  technically feasible, even though not yet technically mature. The book  presents a unique summary and evaluation of all relevant possibilities  for burning surplus plutonium, presented by experts from a variety of  different disciplines and interests, including the defence  establishment. The obvious issue - the non-proliferation of  nuclear weapons - is vital, but the matter represents a complex  technological challenge that also requires an assessment in economic  terms.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401037433\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-007-0860-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 362\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359139688588,"sku":"9789401037433","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401037433.jpg?v=1775731190","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401037433","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
