TK 9001 Periodicals, Societies, Etc.
Summary:
Nuclear Technology is a publication of the American Nuclear Society
(ANS), whose "...main objective is to promote the advancement of engineering
and science relating to the atomic nucleus, and of allied sciences and
arts." The journal is devoted to presenting technical papers and is "...the
leading publication reporting on new information in all areas of the
practical application of nuclear science. Topics include all aspects of
reactor technology: operations, safety materials, instrumentation, fuel, and
waste management."
The site's main screen is divided into two frames. On the left, the user
will find ANS publication links, as well as general ANS information links.
Users can view the current issue of the journal, as well as move forward or
back one issue. Likewise, users can view all back issues and access
subscription information through site links. Other ANS journals are
accessible here; a new additions area is also found. Subtopics are
provided for each of the following areas: (1) ANS Constituency (5 options);
(2) ANS Resources (4 options); (3) ANS Contacts (3 options); and (4) Go To
(5 options).
The site's right frame displays the current issue of the journal. Users
will find the issue's table of contents at the top; selecting a title
displays its contents within the issue. Scrolling also allows for viewing
of publication texts.
The site is sponsored by the American Nuclear Society (ANS); LaGrange

Summary:
Fusion Technology is a journal of the American Nuclear Society (ANS),
which "...promote[s] the advancement of engineering and science relating to
the atomic nucleus, and of allied sciences and arts." The journal is the
"...leading source of information on theoretical research in and application
on nuclear fusion technology and its potential use for energy in the
future." Upon accessing the site, the user will find the present issue's
contents.
Within the site's main page are two franmes. The left frame offers the
holdings of the ANS WWW site: (1) new additions area; (2) Nuclear Science
and Engineering; (3) Nuclear Technology; (4) Fusion
Technology; (5) Go to (four options); (6) Constituency (five options);
(7) Resources (three options); and (8) Contracts (four options). The right
frame offers the contents of the latest issue of the magazine. Each article
is noted with its title and author(s). Selecting a title allows the user
to view the article or the article's entry, which consists of the: title,

Summary:
The Nuclear Plant Information Books is a "...compilation of
information on all 109 commercial nuclear power plants in the United States.
This database includes information on general plant design, plant system
characteristics, single-line system diagrams, and emergency response
information."
At the top of the index's main page are links to: (1) a disclaimer by the
site's creators; (2) a search engine (via icon); (3) the feedback area; and
(4) the book index link. The search engine features a keyword field, where
users can specify the number of matching search results. The book index is
alphabetized according to state; users should browse through listings,
select a reactor site of interest to view its complete records.
A full-color map of the United States also activates the site's search
engine. Users should select a state or reactor site of interest to begin
the search. Users should refer to the site for complete details on the
contents of an individual reactor's records. Listed here are the major
topics featured within a given record: (1) image of reactor (in color); (2)
image of reactor and its adjoining grounds (black and white image); (3)
facility statistics; (4) emergency response information; (5) plant
description summary; (6) simplified plant system diagrams; and (7) detailed
plant system data. Within the record's table of contents, all titles of
topics are direct links to their respective contents.

TK 9204 Nuclear Reactors. Fusion Reactors
Summary:
The CFADC Bibliography is a "...categorized bibliography of atomic and
molecular collision references relevant to fusion energy research and
development." Presently, the bibliography contains entries dating from
1978, numbering 26,000 total citations. in the near future, archives from
c. 1950 to 1977 will be added to the site.
Within the site's main page are four major links. The first, "categories of
the bibliography," offers major categories and subcategories. Major topics
of the bibliography include: (1) heavy particle--heavy particle
interactions; (2) interactions of atomic particles with fields; (3) particle
penetration in macroscopic matter (electrons, ions, and neutrals); (4)
particle interactions with solids; (5) electron-particle interactions; (6)
photon collisions with electrons and heavy particles; (7) data compilations;
(8) reviews and books; and (9) bibliographies. Selecting a category reveals
its subcategory listings. Selecting a subcategory then reveals a search
page
with fields. Results are a listing of bibliography entries. The
"search-author" link produces a query page with fields, conducting its
search based on an author's name. "Search-category" conducts a search based
on a reaction category; this area also produces a query page with fields.
"Journals" accesses a list of journals, published in the last decade, which
are cited within the database; all titles are abbreviated.
Bibliography entries within the site feature: (1) record number; (2)
experiment or theory; (3) energy range; (4) reactants; (5) search items
(from specified query fields); (6) journal title; (7) reference numbers and
publication year; (8) author(s); and (9) title of article. At the bottom
of the site's main page is a link to the CFADC homepage on the WWW.
