No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
In fact, it is quite interesting to note that the only phase diagrams of plutonium alloys that are shown are those published by the Russians.
About sixty pages are devoted to the subject of fuel elements.
These papers discuss with a fair amount of detail the metallurgy and fabrication of the various elements used in reactors for research and power production.
About one-fifth of the book is devoted to the important and rapidly growing field of radiation damage.
This section covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of the effects of irradiation and is an outstanding treatment of the subject.
The text ends with a chapter entitled "Solid State Physics."
This deals primarily with neutron diffraction and the chemistry of the heavy element compounds.
The editors have done an excellent job on a fascinating subject.
This text should prove to be an invaluable reference for the engineer, metallurgist, and physicist concerned with the materials problem in nuclear energy.

Written for the first-year graduate student, this text not only provides the conventional analytic tools, but it also discusses advanced research topics which the reader may wish to investigate. The author's approach is based on the assumption that although control theory may be simpler in terms of
determining stage and flux requirements, for sizing columns and for estimating tray and packing efficiencies. In addition, the book gives all the information needed to design any distillation column (including multiple-feed, sidestream, extractive, azeotropic, and batch) for which vapor-liquid equil
This is Volume IV in a series on Modem Materials, published in cooperation with the American Society for Testing and Materials and the Administrative Committee on Research. The subjects covered are physical properties and the recent developments of carbon and graphite ; the effects of radiation on m
