Nuclear Energy

Landolt Bornstein: Numerical Data And Functional Relationships In Science And Technology New Series

by Klaus Heinloth (Editor), Zeynel Alkan, Bertrand Barré

The three volumes VIII/3A, B, C of Energy Technologies should primarily serve scientists, engineers, and students to gain information on physical, chemical, and technical properties of all technologies to provide, convert, distribute, store, and finally use energy. They are supplemented with economic background information and with specific concepts, to allow the reader a proper comparison of different energy technologies. In this way these volumes on energy technologies should help human society pave the way towards sufficient and environmentally safe provision and use of energy.

You simply must read the reviews of this $8,000 behemoth on Amazon. The one by the spaceship captain is good; but my favorite is:
Simply a gem; thank you Landolt and Bornstein!. Within a few years of buying this book, I had finally done enough research to make it through the first chapter. That same day, I was able to construct my own highly-stable supercritical water cooled nuclear reactor - a perfect Christmas present! Granted, no one on my Christmas list *asked* for a nuclear reactor, but hey, if they don't like it, screw 'em! When was the last time they built their own nuclear power source? Bunch of naysayers. You sit in your tower. I don't need this...

Great book - happily awaiting the sequel!
