| Title | The Fairy Tale of Nuclear Fusion |
| Author(s) | Reinders, L. J |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XXX, 620 p. 171 illus., 138 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This carefully researched book presents facts and arguments showing, beyond a doubt, that nuclear fusion power will not be technically feasible in time to satisfy the world's urgent need for climate-neutral energy. The author describes the 70-year history of nuclear fusion; the vain attempts to construct an energy-generating nuclear fusion power reactor, and shows that even in the most optimistic scenario nuclear fusion, in spite of the claims of its proponents, will not be able to make a sizable contribution to the energy mix in this century, whatever the outcome of ITER. This implies that fusion power will not be a factor in combating climate change, and that the race to save the climate with carbon-free energy will have been won or lost long before the first nuclear fusion power station comes on line. Aimed at the general public as well as those whose decisions directly affect energy policy, this book will be a valuable resource for informing future debates |

| Title | Sun in a Bottle?... Pie in the Sky! : The Wishful Thinking of Nuclear Fusion Energy |
| Author(s) | Reinders, L. J |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XV, 293 p. 50 illus., 43 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book gives an accessible overview of the 70-year history of nuclear fusion research and the vain attempts to construct an energy-generating nuclear fusion reactor. It shows that even in the most optimistic scenario nuclear fusion, despite the claims of its proponents and the billions being spent on research, will not be able to make a sizable contribution to the energy mix in this century. The important consequence is that nuclear fusion will not be a factor in combating climate change, since the race for carbon-free energy will have been won or lost long before the first nuclear fusion power station comes on line. |

| Title | The Physics of the Manhattan Project |
| Author(s) | Reed, Bruce Cameron |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2021. |
| Description | XXIII, 256 p. 88 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The development of nuclear weapons during the Manhattan Project is one of the most significant scientific events of the twentieth century. This revised and updated 4th edition explores the challenges that faced the scientists and engineers of the Manhattan Project. It gives a clear introduction to fission weapons at the level of an upper-year undergraduate physics student by examining the details of nuclear reactions, their energy release, analytic and numerical models of the fission process, how critical masses can be estimated, how fissile materials are produced, and what factors complicate bomb design. An extensive list of references and a number of exercises for self-study are included. Revisions to this fourth edition include many upgrades and new sections. Improvements are made to, among other things, the analysis of the physics of the fission barrier, the time-dependent simulation of the explosion of a nuclear weapon, and the discussion of tamped bomb cores. New sections cover, for example, composite bomb cores, approximate methods for various of the calculations presented, and the physics of the polonium-beryllium "neutron initiators" used to trigger the bombs. The author delivers in this book an unparalleled, clear and comprehensive treatment of the physics behind the Manhattan project |

| Title | Plasma-Material Interactions in a Controlled Fusion Reactor |
| Author(s) | Tanabe, Tetsuo |
| Publication | Singapore, Springer Nature Singapore, 2021. |
| Description | XII, 207 p. 110 illus., 78 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is a primer on the interplay between plasma and materials in a fusion reactor, so-called plasma???materials interactions (PMIs), highlighting materials and their influence on plasma through PMI. It aims to demonstrate that a plasma-facing surface (PFS) responds actively to fusion plasma and that the clarifying nature of PFS is indispensable to understanding the influence of PFS on plasma. It describes the modern insight into PMI, namely, relevant feedback to plasma performance from plasma-facing material (PFM) on changes in a material surface by plasma power load by radiation and particles, contrary to a conventional view that unilateral influence from plasma on PFM is dominant in PMI. There are many books and reviews on PMI in the context of plasma physics, that is, how plasma or plasma confinement works in PMI. By contrast, this book features a materials aspect in PMI focusing on changes caused by heat and particle load from plasma: how PFMs are changed by plasma exposure and then, accordingly, how the changed PFM interacts with plasma |

| Title | Nuclear Fusion with Polarized Fuel |
| Author(s) | Ciullo, Giuseppe;Engels, Ralf;B??scher, Markus;Vasilyev, Alexander |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2016. |
| Description | XIV, 154 p. 48 illus., 14 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book offers a detailed examination of the latest work on the potential of polarized fuel to realize the vision of energy production by nuclear fusion. It brings together contributions from nuclear physicists and fusion physicists with the aims of fostering exchange of information between the two communities, describing the current status in the field, and examining new ideas and projects under development. It is evident that polarized fuel can offer huge improvements for the first generation of fusion reactors and open new technological possibilities for future generations, including neutron lean reactors, which could be the most popular and sustainable energy production option to avoid environmental problems. Nevertheless, many questions must be resolved before polarized fuel can be used for energy production in the different reactor types. Readers will find this book to be a stimulating source of information on the key issues. It is based on contributions from leading scientists delivered at the meetings ???Nuclear Fusion with Polarized Nucleons??? (Trento, November 2013) and ???PolFusion??? (Ferrara, July 2015). |

| Title | Fusion Neutronics |
| Author(s) | Wu, Yican |
| Publication | Singapore, Springer Singapore, 2017. |
| Description | XX, 393 p. 192 illus., 110 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book provides a systematic and comprehensive introduction to fusion neutronics, covering all key topics from the fundamental theories and methodologies, as well as a wide range of fusion system designs and experiments. It is the first-ever book focusing on the subject of fusion neutronics research. Compared with other nuclear devices such as fission reactors and accelerators, fusion systems are normally characterized by their complex geometry and nuclear physics, which entail new challenges for neutronics such as complicated modeling, deep penetration, low simulation efficiency, multi-physics coupling, etc. The book focuses on the neutronics characteristics of fusion systems and introduces a series of theories and methodologies that were developed to address the challenges of fusion neutronics, and which have since been widely applied all over the world. Further, it introduces readers to neutronics design???s unique principles and procedures, experimental methodologies and technologies for fusion systems. The book not only highlights the latest advances and trends in the field, but also draws on the lessons learned in the author???s more than 40 years of research. To make it more accessible and enhance its practical value, various representative examples are included to illustrate the application and efficiency of the methods, designs and experimental techniques discussed |

| Title | A Primer on Complex Systems : With Applications to Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas |
| Author(s) | S??nchez, Ra??l;Newman, David |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2018. |
| Description | XX, 404 p. 164 illus., 160 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The purpose of this book is to illustrate the fundamental concepts of complexity and complex behavior and the best methods to characterize this behavior by means of their applications to some current research topics from within the fields of fusion, earth and solar plasmas. In this sense, it is a departure from the many books already available that discuss general features of complexity. The book is divided in two parts. In the first part the most important properties and features of complex systems are introduced, discussed and illustrated. The second part discusses several instances of possible complex phenomena in magnetized plasmas and some of the analysis tools that were introduced in the first part are used to characterize the dynamics in these systems. A list of problems is proposed at the end of each chapter. This book is intended for graduate and post-graduate students with a solid college background in mathematics and classical physics, who intend to work in the field of plasma physics and, in particular, plasma turbulence. It will also be of interest to senior scientists who have so far approached these systems and problems from a different perspective and want a new fresh angle |
