Plasma & High Frequency Processes for Obtaining & Processing Materials in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle

I. N. Toumanov

Questions regarding the advancement of the technology for production and regeneration of nuclear fuel and to the further perfection of the nuclear fuel cycle are very significant when determining the ultimate costs of electrical energy produced at nuclear power stations as well as for safety. This 2nd edition, supplemented and augmented, of this ground-breaking book analyses the role of plasma and high frequency processes.
