Nuclear power production and nuclear radiation. 2. rev. ed.

The booklet deals with the physical fundamentals of nuclear energy. The first chapters lead in the most direct manner and without deviations from the energy balance in nuclear fission to the principal structure of a reactor and the problems of its power control. To follow, a few chapters deal with the subsequent and side effects in nuclear fission and nuclear reactions, i.e. with the accompanying (also the natural) corpuscular and γ- or X-radiation, the radiation hazards, radiation measurement and radiation protection.
