tailieunhanh - WORKSHOP ON NUCLEAR REACTION DATA AND NUCLEAR REACTORS: PHYSICS, DESIGN AND SAFETY

One of the main missions of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, founded in 1964, is to foster the growth of advanced studies and scientific research in developing countries. To this end, the Centre organizes a number of schools and workshops in a variety of physical and mathematical disciplines. Since unpublished material presented at the meetings might prove to be of interest also to scientists who did not take part in the schools and workshops, the Centre has decided to make it available through a new publication series entitled ICTP Lecture Notes. It is hoped that this formally structured pedagogical material on advanced topics. | ICTP Lecture Notes WORKSHOP ON NUCLEAR REACTION DATA AND NUCLEAR REACTORS PHYSICS DESIGN AND SAFETY 25 February - 28 March 2002 Editors M.
