Explosive pulsed power generators are devices that either convert the chemical energy stored in explosives into electrical energy or use the shock waves generated by explosives to release energy stored in ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials. The objective of this book is to acquaint the reader with the principles of operation of explosive generators and to provide details on how to design, build, and test three types of generators: flux compression, ferroelectric, and ferromagnetic generators, which are the most developed and the most near term for practical applications.

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices are recognized for their versatility and efficiency in controlling and processing electrical signals. This has resulted in a multitude of device concepts for a wide range of signal processing functions, such as delay lines, filters, resonators, pulse compressors, convolvers, and many more. As SAW technology has found its way into mass market products such as TV receivers, pagers, keyless entry systems and cellular phones, the production volume has risen to millions of devices produced every day. At the other end of the scale, these are specialized high perfo

D’une façon générale, l’état critique désigne la frontière entre deux comportements antinomiques d’un système physique ou biologique. Pour les spécialistes des réacteurs nucléaires, c’est l’état qui sépare le cas d’une réaction en chaîne de fissions qui s’éteint inexorablement et celui d’une réaction qui, au contraire, se développe de plus en plus vite, jusqu’à ce qu’intervienne une contre-réaction. Cet état, caractérisé par un « facteur de multiplication » juste égal à 1, est celui qui est visé dans un réacteur devant fournir une puissance constante dans le temps. Mais dans les autres installations où sont manipulées des matières fissiles – fabrication, transports, retraitement de combustibles nucléaires – il faut absolument éviter d’atteindre et surtout de dépasser l’état critique qui conduirait à un accident causant des dégâts matériels et émettant des rayonnements dangereux. Ce livre développe ces notions de criticité, apporte les éléments de neutronique permettant d’évaluer le facteur de multiplication, analyse les scénarios accidentels susceptibles d’intervenir et présente les expérimentations et les codes de calcul associés. Les spécialistes du nucléaire seront intéressés par une présentation originale de ce problème. Les autres lecteurs découvriront un domaine de la physique peu connu mais, comme tous les autres, passionnant.

Sustainable Nuclear Power provides non-nuclear engineers, scientists and energy planners with the necessary information to understand and utilize the major advances in the field. The book demonstrates that nuclear fission technology has the abundance and attainability to provide centuries of safe power with minimal greenhouse gas generation. It also addresses the safety and disposal issues that have plagued the development of the nuclear power industry and scared planners and policy makers as well as the general public for more than two decades. In addition, the authors provide a Companion we
