As addressing climate change becomes a high priority it seems likely that there will be a surge in interest in deploying nuclear power. Other fuel bases are too dirty (coal), too expensive (oil, natural gas) or too speculative (solar, wind) to completely supply the energy needs of the global...

Novel methodologies for classifying scientific articles related to the nuclear fuel cycle have been developed using machine learning to discover declarable activities under the additional protocol of the International Atomic Energy Agency. In this study, the relationships between articles and...

The report covers nuclear power stations of a capacity greater than 50 MWe and nuclear fuel reprocessing plants in the European Union prior to the latest enlargement of the Union to 25 Member States in 2004. Data on radioactive airborne and liquid effluent discharges are given for the period...

Although plutonium has been studied by different disciplines (such as technology and innovation studies, political sciences) since its discovery, back in 1940 at the University of California (Berkeley), the resource and environmental economic literature is still relatively scarce; neither does the...

The increase of the use of atomic power in some emerging economies, in particular South Korea and China, has revitalized a discussion regarding the availability of uranium resources. Despite the fact that global uranium resources are more than sufficient to supply reactor-related demand for the...

Ensuring safety and efficiency of the procurement market for nuclear power generation has become one of the top priorities of the policy makers in Korea since the discovery of a large number of fraudulent parts and components used by nuclear power plants. This book analyzes the nuclear power...
