Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The first book for advanced students of chemistry and chemical engineering to cover both basic nuclear chemistry and the whole nuclear power fuel cycle including waste handling and storage and associated hazards. Covers all major advances in the field up to 1978. Includes problems and solutions. The book has been course tested at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

Text on lining papers.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
