The Chornobyl Accident a Comprehensive Risk Assessment

Columbus, OH: Battelle Press, 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 1574770829. Glossy, paper covered, illustrated boards show slight wear.; A bright, solid book.; B&W Illustrations; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 271 pages; "The authors, all of whom are Ukrainian and Russian scientists involved with Chornobyl nuclear power plant since the April 1986 accident, present a comprehensive review of the accident. In addition, they present a risk assessment of the remains of the destroyed reactor and its surrounding shelter, Chornobyl radioactive waste storage and disposal sites, and environmental contamination in the region. The authors explore such questions as the risks posed by a collapse of the shelter, radionuclide migration from storage and disposal facilities in the exclusion zone, and transfer from soil to vegetation and its potential regional impact. The answers to these questions provide a scientific basis for the development of countermeasures against the Chornobyl accident in particular and the mitigation of environmental radioactive contamination in general. They also provide an important basis for understanding the human health and ecological risks posed by the accident.". Very Good+ with no dust jacket .

BRANDT, SIEGMUND & HANS D. DAHMEN

The Picture Book of Quantum Mechanics

New York: Springer-Verlag, 1995. Second Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0387943803. A bright, solid book. As new, text unmarked ; B&W Illustrations; 9.30 X 6.30 X 1.20 inches; 423 pages; "In studying classical mechanics, students are often helped by the fact that intuitions developed in everday life can give one a good idea of the behavior of the idealized objects dealt with in introductory courses. In addition, equations encountered are sufficiently simple to solve even in relatively complex situations that students can further develop their intution by solving problems. In learning quantum theory, however, intutions developed for the classical world fail, and the equations to be solved are sufficiently complex that they can readily be solved without a computer only for the simplest situations. This book represents an attempt to jump the hurdle to an intuitive understanding of wave mechanics by using illustrations profusely to present the time evolution and parameter dependence of wave functions in a wide variety of situations. Most of the illustrations are computer-generated solutions of the Schr dinger equation for one- and three-dimensional systems. The situations discussed range from the simple particle in a box through resonant scattering in one dimension to the hydrogen atom and Regge classification of resonant scattering. This edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded to include a discussion of spin and magnetic resonance.". Very Good+ with No dust jacket as issued .

The Origin of the Concept of Nuclear Forces

London: Institute of Physics Publishing, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0750303735. Illustrated boards show light shelf wear, small corner bump to top front foredge. ; A bright, solid book , text unmarked.; B&W Illustrations; 9.41 X 6.75 X 1.04 inches; 392 pages; "The concept of fundamental nuclear forces emerged gradually during the start of the 1930s and reached our present level of description some time before the 1950s. The Origin of the Concept of Nuclear Forces presents a unified, comprehensive account of the history of this important part of the modern scientific worldview. In addition, the authors, foremost experts in the field, examine the sociological and philosophical aspects of the story in light of the various theories of scientific development. The book contains analyses of published work, archival materials, and original interviews. It will be appealing primarily to historians of science and physicists interested in the roots of their field.". Very Good with no dust jacket .

International Symposium on Nuclear Structure Physics Celebrating the Career of Peter Von Brentano : University of Gottingen, Germany 5

New Jersey: World Scientific Publishing Company, 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 9810246544. Light wear to book, bump head of spine, tear base of DJ spine ; DJ in Mylar, bright, solid book ; B&W Illustrations; 1.3 x 8.6 x 6.3 Inches; 456 pages; Nuclear structure physics is undergoing a major revival, full of activities and excitement. On the experimental side, this is being made possible by advances in detector technology and accelerator capabilities that give access to data and nuclei (especially exotic nuclei far from stability) never before accessible. On the theoretical side, new concepts, ideas and computational techniques are advancing our understanding of effective interactions, nucleonic correlations, and symmetries of structure. This volume covers a broad range of topics on nuclear structure, including: collective excitations; proton-neutron excitation modes; phase transitions; signatures of structure; isospin; structure at both high- and low-angular momenta; recent developments in nuclear theory; the vast new realm of exotic nuclei far from the valley of stability; and the latest technological advances of detectors and facilities which will lead this branch of physics into the future..
