THE RELEASE OF
THERMONUCLEAR ENERGY BY INERTIAL CONFINEMENT
Ways Towards Ignition
by Friedwardt Winterberg (University of Nevada, Reno, USA)
436pp
978-981-4295-90-1: US$110 / £73 US$82.50
/ £54.75
This is a comprehensive book which describes the three
essential parts of what is known as "Inertial Confinement Fusion": the
way thermonuclear burn takes place in non-magnetized, magnetized and
fusion-fission hybrid assemblies; the pulse power ignition technology
(nuclear, electrical, optical and chemical); and the applications of
inertial confinement fusion technology for peaceful nuclear energy on
Earth and in space.
An integrated single text of such extensive technical width
is a rare find, and younger generations of nuclear engineers any
physicists will appreciate this book as a companion to their
traditional textbooks.
