Product Description
ANSI/IEEE Std 352-1987 provides the user with basic principles needed to conduct a reliability analysis of safety systems for nuclear power generating stations. These principles, together with further information provided in the references, are sufficient to develop a reliability/availability analysis not only for nuclear power plant safety systems, but for other protection systems as well. A user may select a specific section of the standard that applies to the particular needs of his organization. Some areas discussed are: quantitative analysis and mathematical modeling; problems of failure data; probability distribution, estimation, and confidence intervals used in evaluating failure and repair rate data; and information on established data programs. Application of the principles and procedures of reliability engineering that are presented will allow designers and operators to analyze the system, compare the results with reliability objectives, and suitably document the basis for decisions made at various phases of the system's lifetime. ...

Product Description
Early chapters describe his formative experiences in wartime radar work, which were to lead him into the field of particle physics, and his involvement in the building of particle accelerators at Harwell and CERN and the establishment of a laboratory for fusion research at Culham. In this account of Adams' life, Crowley-Milling follows the development of high-energy physics research, the development of accelerators to carry it out, as well as some of the history of CERN and its impact in leading European scientific cooperation.
How did John Adams, with the bare minimum of formal education, become a key figure in the field of high-energy physics, responsible for the success of the European centre for high-energy physics research at CERN? As a colleague and close friend for many years, with access to Adams' notebooks and private letters, Michael Crowley-Milling presents a candid portrait of this unusual man.
Michael C. Crowley-Milling is an independent consultant based in the UK and Swit ... Read more
