MONOGRAPHS

Acad. А. А. Sarkisov (eds.)

Main neutronics and thermal processes inherent in operation of various-purpose nuclear reactors including naval ones are addressed. The emphasis is made on achieving the maximum logical consistency and revealing the physical meaning of basic laws.
The authors used their more than 40-year experience in research, teaching and writing of widely recognized textbooks and monographs in the field of nuclear power. The information used was updated as of the beginning 2007.
The monograph is intended for professionals in operation of nuclear power installations, as well as for a wide range of adjacent specialists in design, construction and operation of stationary and transport of nuclear power facilities. The book may be also used by university students of related disciplines.

The monograph discusses the key approaches to radiation protection of the environment and compares the indices and criteria regulating the quality of water bodies. Two fundamental points are put forward: the need to move from the anthropocentric and environmental principles of regulation to the biospheric approach for radiation protection of the environment; and the need to address integrated water-resource management when regulating radiation quality of water bodies. The application of biospheric approach was demonstrated within the frameworks of the modified hygienic principle that allows resolving most of the contradictions between the anthropocentric and environmental approaches and is much more promising area of developing the environment radiation-protection system compared to the fundamental review of the current paradigms. The developed models enable calculations of permissible single and annual radionuclide effluents and discharges to water bodies taking into account a sophisticated pattern of their redistribution between biotic and abiotic components in aquatic ecosystems.
The book is recommended for radio-ecologists and specialists in regulation of the effects of ionizing radiation.
