Risk Management and System Safety
The Operational Safety (OS) of Industrial Systems is today a true engineering discipline, applied in all the different phases of the life of an industrial system, from its conception to its decommissioning, going through the stages of development and operation. In a broad sense, the Operational Safety of Systems can be defined as "Science of Failures". It thus includes knowledge, assessment, prediction, measurement, and control of system failures. In a strict sense, the Operational Safety of Systems is the ability of a system to successfully accomplish the mission for which it was designed, without the occurrence of events with undesirable consequences not only for the components of the syst...
Energy in Brazil
Rapidly developing countries such as China and India are the real main players in the climate debate, with the potential for massive increases in their carbon emissions in coming years. Brazil is often included in their number, yet this country is in fact notable for its exceptionally high reliance on energy from renewable sources - approaching 50%. However, the fact that much of this energy comes from hydropower and biofuels, and recent discoveries of massive oil reserves off of the Brazilian coast, are a recipe for controversy. In this detailed account, Antonio Dias Leite sets out the development of Brazil's energy mix. Beginning with the history of energy provision and use, he then moves ...

Nuclear Politics
A comprehensive theory of the causes of nuclear proliferation, alongside an in-depth analysis of sixteen historical cases of nuclear development.
Internationalization of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle
The so-called nuclear renaissance has increased worldwide interest in nuclear power. This potential growth also has increased, in some quarters, concern that nonproliferation considerations are not being given sufficient attention. In particular, since introduction of many new power reactors will lead to requiring increased uranium enrichment services to provide the reactor fuel, the proliferation risk of adding enrichment facilities in countries that do not have them now led to proposals to provide the needed fuel without requiring indigenous enrichment facilities. Similar concerns exist for reprocessing facilities. Internationalization of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle summarizes key issues and an...
Unmaking the Bomb
A new approach to nuclear disarmament, nonproliferation, and the prevention of nuclear terrorism that focuses on controlling the production and stockpiling of nuclear materials. Achieving nuclear disarmament, stopping nuclear proliferation, and preventing nuclear terrorism are among the most critical challenges facing the world today. Unmaking the Bomb proposes a new approach to reaching these long-held goals. Rather than considering them as separate issues, the authors—physicists and experts on nuclear security—argue that all three of these goals can be understood and realized together if we focus on the production, stockpiling, and disposal of plutonium and highly enriched uranium—th...
Energia nuclear e sustentabilidade
A Série Sustentabilidade surgiu a partir da análise do panorama histórico com o início do conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável, formulado pela Comissão Brundtland em 1970, até o evento da Agenda 21 com enorme influência no mundo em todas as áreas, reforçando o movimento ambientalista. A série, escrita por renomados pesquisadores nacionais que apresentam análises do impacto do conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável no Brasil, é coordenada pelo prof. José Goldemberg e tem como objetivo analisar o que está sendo feito para evitar um crescimento populacional sem controle e uma industrialização predatória, em que a ênfase seja apenas o crescimento econômico, bem como o qu...
Síntese de doutrina de segurança para projeto e operação de submarinos nucleares
(Continuação) Como "Princípios Básicos" entende-se os Objetivos Gerais de Segurança e uma série de diretrizes qualitativas que orientam como estes objetivos podem ser alcançados. A seguir são propostos Critérios Gerais de Segurança para o projetoda Instalação Propulsora Nuclear (IPN) e de suas interfaces com a plataforma-navio do SNA. Como "Critérios Gerais" entende-se os Objetivos Detalhados de Segurança e uma série de diretrizes quantitativas que orientam o desenvolvimento do projetointegrado do conjunto de sistemas que compõem o SNA. São usados para garantir a adequação da segurança aos Princípios Básicos qualitativos. Os requisitos específicos de segurança aplicá...
