Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The handling of actinides and actinide-based materials provides significant technological challenges due to the toxicity and radioactivity associated with these materials. These challenges are particularly apparent in the nuclear power industry. Under normal operation, a reactor can produce a significant amount of spent fuel requiring subsequent containment for geologic times, and under accident conditions it can release lethal doses of radioactive material to the environment. Inevitably, radioactive material will enter the environment, necessitating as complete an understanding as possible of its behavior. An understanding of the interaction between actinides and the environment must be based on a knowledge of their basic physical and chemical properties. To date, although there is general agreement on the principles for waste disposal, no facility has been built for the long term disposal of high level radioactive waste from either normal reactor operations or from accidental catastrophes. This makes it most important for the scientific and technical community to develop the necessary cross-disciplinary understanding that will help us implement safe and secure waste management, accident remediation and accident prevention systems.…

Text block complete and tight. Volume 2. Tristram Shandy. 391 pages. Rear cover detached. Front cover with clear tape at the inside hinge. Volume 3. Sermons. 455 pages. Clear tape at inside hinges. Volume 4. A Sentimental Journey. Printed in 1805. 416 pages. Clear tape. Volume 5. Letters. 312 pages. Rear cover missing. Printed in 1805. The books measure 4 x 6.5 inches. Text blocks all complete and pages faded and toned but without stains or writing. Bookplates on the inside covers of all 5 volumes -- but apart from a few stray records in a book of cattle markings, I have not identified who he was. An early Harrisburgh (Harrisburg) PA imprint. I would not usually list a set in this condition, but it's an early imprint from a small press, and I wish there were more of these available from my town (Fredericksburg) so I offer these for the interest of anyone interested in their town. Please email with questions or to request photos.…
