Uranium: Its Isotopes, Reaction Rates, Fuel Creation, and Modern Applications

This authoritative volume, Uranium and Its Isotopes, unpacks the powerful role uranium plays in modern nuclear energy systems. Blending theory with application, the book explains how uranium isotopes behave in reactors, how fuel is engineered and enriched, and how nuclear reaction rates are modeled and optimized for energy output. It explores the technological leap into next-generation energy systems-including SMRs-and delves into uranium's integration with smart grids, energy storage systems, and sustainable energy infrastructures. Designed for professionals in the energy sector, policymakers, and advanced technical readers, this book bridges the gap between scientific precision and real-world energy innovation.
