Encyclopedia of Nuclear Energy, Four Volume Set provides a comprehensive and reliable overview of the many ways nuclear energy contributes to society. Comprised of four volumes, it includes topics such as generating clean electricity, improving medical diagnostics and cancer treatment, improving crop yields, improving food shelf-lives, and crucially, the deployment of nuclear energy as an alternative energy source, one that is proving to be essential in the management of global warming. Carefully structured into thematic sections, this encyclopedia brings together the vast and highly diversified literature related to nuclear energy into a single resource, with convenient to read, cross-referenced chapters.

This book will serve as an invaluable resource for researchers in the fields of energy, engineering, material science, chemistry, and physics, from both industry and academia.

Research reactors 10. Medical, Industrial and Agricultural Applications of Nuclear Technology 11. Social issues of nuclear energy 12. Non-electric applications of terrestrial nuclear reactors 13. Nuclear fusion R&D

Prof. Greenspan's research spans over a large variety of nuclear engineering related disciplines including theoretical reactor physics, experimental reactor physics, computational methods development, optimization methods for identifying the minimum possible critical mass, criticality safety analysis, optimal design of radiation shields, fusion reactor blankets and medical installations, advanced fusion fuel cycles, fusion-fission hybrid reactors, advanced fission reactors and nuclear fuel-cycle conception, design and analysis. Prof. Greenspan has been a Principal Investigator on studies of dozens of advanced nuclear systems, among which those corresponding to Generation-IV reactor technologies and others being categorized as Small Modular Reactors (SMR), as well as leading a multi-institutional team that developed a preliminary conceptual design of the Encapsulated Nuclear Heat Source (ENHS) - a nuclear battery-type reactor that is free of pumps, pipes and valves in the primary reactor system. Prof. Greenspan's research is documented in 400+ refereed publications, book chapters, and patents/collaborative patents.
