Uranium enrichment has played a relatively quiet but important role in the history of efforts by a number of nations to \u003ci\u003eacquire\u003c\/i\u003e nuclear weapons and by a number of others to \u003ci\u003eprevent\u003c\/i\u003e the proliferation of nuclear weapons. For many years the uranium enrichment industry was dominated by a single method, gaseous diffusion, which was technically complex, extremely capital-intensive, and highly inefficient in its use of energy. As long as this remained true, only the richest and most technically advanced nations could afford to pursue the enrichment route to weapon acquisition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut during the 1970s this situation changed dramatically. Several new and far more accessible enrichment techniques were developed, stimulated largely by the anticipation of a rapidly growing demand for enrichment services by the world-wide nuclear power industry. This proliferation of new techniques, coupled with the subsequent contraction of the commercial market for enriched uranium, has created a situation in which uranium enrichment technology might well become the most important contributor to further nuclear weapon proliferation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the issues addressed in this book are: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA technical analysis of the most important enrichment techniques in a form that is relevant to analysis of proliferation risks;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA detailed projection of the world demand for uranium enrichment services;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eA summary and critique of present institutional non-proliferation arrangements in the world enrichment industry, and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn identification of the states most likely to pursue the enrichment route to acquisition of nuclear weapons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.68 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 04, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52732178170163,"sku":"9780367523374","price":92.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QUdOZVp0SmlWL2tKNmg3blY3WnZqZz09.webp?v=1763881315","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/uranium-enrichment-and-nuclear-weapon-proliferation-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
