Cover is cocked, worn, torn, spine cloth separated and attached with tape. Boards weak & restrengtened with glue. Name of former owner (stamp and in ink) present on fep. Ex-library with usual markings. Some markings blacked out. Ink markings and comments noted. This is one of the IAEA's Proceedings Series. At this symposium, about 70 leading experts attended, representing 20 countries, and 34 papers related to the most recent findings were presented. All aspects of the response to radiation exposure of both peripheral and central nervous systems were discussed. Particular emphasis was given to the reaction of the central nervous systems, as knowledge of its reactions to irradiation was believed to provide additional criteria for the establishment of safety codes for nuclear operations. There was belief that the effects of ionizing radiation on the nervous system ranked among the foremost subjects of interest to those working in the nuclear field. More

Vienna, Austria: International Atomic Energy Agency, 1979. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. 16 pages, counting covers. Soft cover pamphlet (measuring 6.3 inches by 9.5 inches) Small crease at bottom edge of covers and text. Includes six full color figures, showing the penetrating power of radiation and types of radiation; radiation from various sources; the considerable difference in levels of radioactivity in common liquids; the nuclear power industry is a small contributor to the average radiation dose; various types of ionizing radiation are important in the treatment of cancer; and radionuclide imaging techniques currently used in nuclear medicine provide useful diagnostic information, while minimizing the radiation dose and inconvenience to the patient and the hospital staff. Also contains bibliography and summary. This pamphlet concludes that the major contribution to the average dose is from natural background radiation; that the largest man-made contribution is from the medical uses of radiation; and that the nuclear power industry is a small contributor to the average radiation dose.

Vienna: International Atomic Energy Agency, 1980. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. Nine volume set. Approximately 2000 pages. Figures. Footnotes. Formulae. Tables. Covers have some wear and soiling. Titles are: Fuel and Heavy Water Availability: Report of INFCE Working Group 1; Enrichment Availability: Report of INFCE Working Group 2; Assurances of Long-Term Supply of Technology, Fuel and Heavy Water and Services in the Interests of National Needs Consistent with Non-Proliferation; Report of INFCE Working Group 3; Reprocessing, Plutonium Handling, Recycle: Report of INFCE Working Group 4; Fast Breeders, Report of INFCE Working Group 5; Spent Fuel Management, Report of INFCE Working Group 6; Waste Management and Disposal, Report of INFCE Working Group 7; Advanced Fuel Cycle and Reactor Concepts, Report of INFCE Working Group 8; and INFCE Summary Volume. The participants considered that INFCE has accomplished its task. It has identified ways and means of strengthening assurances of nuclear supply while at the same time minimizing the risk of the proliferation of nuclear weapons. These would involve international co-operation and include technical, legal and institutional measures as well as developments in the field of safeguards. It analyzed the needs of developing countries in this regard and pointed to actions that might be taken by States through the IAEA and to other means to meet those needs. The delegates recognized the role that the IAEA must continue to play in the future in meeting the problems that were the focus of the INFCE study. The Working Group reports were presented without separate or dissenting views. More

Slipcase shows some wear but pamphlet and DVD/case are very good or better. Even though the American scientist Langmuir first discovered the plasma (a collection of charged particles; meaning ?moldable substance? in Greek) in 1929, fusion was not pursued as a potential source of energy until the early 1950s. Today, fusion is the most significant application of plasma. After the 1956 sensational report by I.V. Kurchatov (at the Harwell campus in England) on the possibility of thermonuclear reactions in gaseous discharge, 105 papers on plasma physics and controlled thermonuclear fusion were submitted to the 1958 2nd Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy held by the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. During the early 1950s, the major nuclear power countries at that time (Soviet Union, UK, and US) were actively involved in fusion research. More
