This book contains papers from a NATO-sponsored workshop in Almaty in September 2005, which discussed safety-related issues of storing spent nuclear fuel. Fifteen papers cover aluminum-clad fuel discharged from research reactors worldwide, while five papers examine stainless steel-clad fuel from fast reactors, and two Zircaloy-clad fuel from commercial light-water reactors.

This collection of articles, together with the two previous companion publications of 1995 and 1997, represent the most complete set of materials on the issues relating to nuclear submarine utilisation and safety when managing spent nuclear fuel and radioactive wastes. The book is indispensable for scientists, engineers, shipyard technicians and decision makers in the fields of radioecology and the management of decommissioned hazardous radiation facilities that were constructed for other than their present purposes.

Heat Transfer topics are commonly of a very complex nature. Often different mechanisms like heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and non-linear phenomena, such as temperature-dependent thermophysical properties, and phase changes occur simultaneously. New developments in numerical solution methods of partial differential equations and access to high-speed, efficient and cheap computers have led to dramatic advances during recent years. This book publishes papers from the Ninth International Conference on Advanced Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements in Heat and Mass Transfer, exploring new approaches to the numerical solutions of heat and mass transfer problems and their experimental measurement. Papers encompass a number of topics such as: Diffusion and Convection; Conduction; Natural and Forced Convection; Heat and Mass Transfer Interaction; Casting, Welding, Forging and other Processes; Heat Exchanges; Atmospheric Studies; Advances in Computational Methods; Modelling and Experiments; Micro and Nano Scale Heat and Mass Transfer; Energy Systems; Energy Balance Studies; Thermal Material Characterization; Applications in Biology; Applications in Ecological Buildings; Case Studies.
