This note deals with key issues of fusion reactor technologies based
on magnetic confinement, focusing on the tokamak concept. Overview of the fusion
power plant system will be introduced and energetics of which will be addressed.
Then, the way how to build and operate a tokamak is going to be covered.
This note provides an
introduction to the basic properties of ionizing radiations and their uses in
medicine, industry, science, and environmental studies. Also discusses natural
and man-made radiation sources, energy deposition and dose calculations, and
various physical, chemical, and biological processes and effects of radiation,
with examples of their uses, and principles of radiation protection.
This
note explains the following topics: Classical Two-Body Kinematics, Special
Relativity, Particle-like Nature of Waves, Wave-like properties of Particles,
The Shrodinger equation, The Rutherford-Bohr model of the Atom, The Hydrogen
Atom, Many-Electron Atoms, Nuclear Properties, Force Between Nucleons,
Radioactive Decay.
This note explains correctly the major
ideas associated with Nuclear Chemistry listed below, to work numerical problems
involving these concepts and to extend the use of these concepts to unknown
situations.
