TitleA Brief History of Nuclear Reactor Accidents : From Leipzig to Fukushima
Author(s)Marguet, Serge
PublicationCham, 1. Imprint: Springer 2. Springer International Publishing, 2022.
DescriptionLXXV, 414 p. 1 illus : online resource
Abstract NoteAre you afraid of a nuclear reactor accident? Should you be? This book will arm you with the scientific knowledge necessary to make a rational and informed opinion on the subject, without having to be an expert in nuclear physics. Written so that a non-specialist can easily approach the highly technical aspects, it looks at all significant nuclear reactor accidents since the dawn of the Atomic Age and brings to light many crucial details that rarely, if ever, appear in the general media. Serge Marguet, an internationally renowned expert in reactor physics, breaks down the must-know technical aspects of numerous nuclear reactor accidents throughout history ??? both famous and unknown ??? from the first ever nuclear accident in Leipzig to the Chernobyl explosion and, finally, the Fukushima affair and its most recent developments. With many high-quality photographs and diagrams, this book is essential reading for anyone concerned about nuclear safety, curious about nuclear reactors, or simply interested in the history ??? and future ??? of nuclear power

TitleOur Climate and the Energy Problem : How our Energy Needs can be Covered in a Climate-Friendly Way
Author(s)Stierstadt, Klaus
PublicationWiesbaden, 1. Imprint: Springer 2. Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden, 2022.
DescriptionX, 62 p. 1 illus : online resource
Abstract NoteThis essential provides an overview of the changes in our climate, their causes and their consequences. Today, humanity's energy needs are largely met in ways that are harmful to the climate. The alternative to this, solar energy, would satisfy our needs thousands of times over. But this option is far too little used for mainly economic reasons. This essential discusses the energy converters that can be used to make solar energy available. Some other modern energy sources, such as nuclear power, are either inadequate, still utopian, or otherwise environmentally harmful. An outlook shows that our energy problem could easily be solved with economic reason by global use of solar energy. The climate could be stabilized in time This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Unser Klima und das Energieproblem by Klaus Stierstadt, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). The content The climate - The energy demand - The sun - Solar energy converters -Non-solar energy sources The target groups Students of natural science, teachers of natural science subjects, people interested in climate and environment The author Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c.. Klaus Stierstadt is professor emeritus of physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich and author of several physics textbooks. He was a member of the board of the German Physical Society as well as vice president of the University of Munich and is honorary senator of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. His fields of work are radioactivity of the atmosphere, magnetism, phase transitions, neutron scattering and magnetohydrodynamics

TitleSimple physics of energy use
Author(s)Peter Rez
PublicationOxford University Press
Abstract NoteIn industrially developed countries, energy is used primarily for three things-maintaining a comfortable environment in buildings, transporting people and goods and manufacturing products. Each accounts for about one-third of the total primary energy use. Controlling the indoor temperature accounts for most of the energy use in buildings. Therefore, this strongly depends on the local climate. Electricity accounts for a high proportion of the energy transfer in developed countries. The problem is that electricity cannot easily be stored, and that supply therefore has to match demand. This makes the use of intermittent renewables such as solar and wind particularly challenging. Transportation efficiency can be measured by the energy used to move a person or a tonne of freight over a given distance, but there is also the journey time to consider. Transportation, with the exception of trains, is constrained by the energy density and convenience of fuels, and it is hard to beat liquid hydrocarbons as fuels. Materials that are dug out of the earth are nearly always oxides, but we want the element itself. The reduction process inevitably uses energy and produces carbon dioxide. Even growing crops requires energy in addition to that provided by sunlight. A meat-based diet requires significantly higher energy inputs than a vegetarian diet. Growing crops for fuel is a poor use of land, the problem being that crops do not grow fast enough. Policy should ultimately be based on what works from a physics and engineering viewpoint, and not on legislation that mandates the use of favoured renewable energy sources.
