It serves as a readable and reliable source of information for anyone who wants to have a well-balanced opinion about exploitation of nuclear fission in power plants. The text is divided into two parts; the first covers the basics of nuclear forces and properties of nuclei, nuclear collisions, nuclear stability, radioactivity, and provides a detailed discussion of nuclear fission and relevant topics in its application to energy production. The second part covers the basic technical aspects of nuclear fission reactors, nuclear fuel cycle and resources, safety, safeguards, and radioactive waste management. The book also contains a discussion of the biological effects of nuclear radiation and of radiation protection, and a summary of the ten most relevant nuclear accidents. The book is suitable for undergraduates in physics, nuclear engineering and other science subjects. However, the mathematics is kept at a level that can be easily followed by wider circles of readers. The addition of solved problems, strategically placed throughout the text, and the collections of problems at the end of the chapters allow readers to appreciate the quantitative aspects of various phenomena and processes. Many illustrations and graphs effectively supplement the text and help visualising specific points. 410 0$aUndergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,$x2192-4791 606 $aNuclear energy 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aHeavy ions 606 $aEnergy systems 606 $aNuclear Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000 606 $aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23010 606 $aNuclear Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/113000 606 $aEnergy Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/115000 615 0$aNuclear energy. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aHeavy ions. 615 0$aEnergy systems. 615 14$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons. 615 24$aNuclear Energy. 615 24$aEnergy Systems. 676 $a333.7924 700 $aDe Sanctis$b Enzo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$045769 702 $aMonti$b Stefano$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRipani$b Marco$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254630803321 996 $aEnergy from Nuclear Fission$92527941 997 $aUNINA
