The latter would provide abundant, reliable and safe energy with no CO2 production, no air pollution, and minimal waste production. The participants, representatives of 30 countries, included Carlo Rubbia, Nobel Prize Laureate in physics and inventor of the Energy Amplifier; Jack Steinberger, Nobel Prize Laureate in physics; Hans Blix, former Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); Rolf Heuer, Director General of CERN; Pascal Couchepin, former President of the Swiss Confederation; and Claude Haegi, President of the FEDRE, to name just a few. The ThEC13 proceedings are a source of reference on the use of thorium for energy generation. They offer detailed technical reviews of the status of thorium energy technologies, from basic R&D to industrial developments. They also describe how thorium can be used in critical reactors and in subcritical accelerator-driven systems (ADS), answering the important questions: - Why is thorium so attractive and what is the role of innovation, in particular in the nuclear energy domain? - What are the national and international R&D programs on thorium technologies and how are they progressing? ThEC13 was organized jointly by the international Thorium Energy Committee (iThEC), an association based in Geneva, and the International Thorium Energy Organisation (IThEO). It was held in the Globe of Science and Innovation at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland, in October 2013. 000754631 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 13, 2016). 000754631 650_0 $$aNuclear fuels$$vCongresses. 000754631 650_0 $$aThorium$$xIsotopes$$vCongresses. 000754631 650_0 $$aNuclear energy$$vCongresses. 000754631 7001_ $$aRevol, Jean-Pierre,$$eeditor. 000754631 7001_ $$aBourquin, Maurice,$$eeditor. 000754631 7001_ $$aKadi, Yacine,$$eeditor. 000754631 7001_ $$aLillestøl, Egil,$$eeditor. 000754631 7001_ $$aMestral, Jean-Christophe de,$$eeditor. 000754631 7001_ $$aSamec, Karel,$$eeditor. 000754631 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319265407 000754631 852__ $$bebk 000754631 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-26542-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000754631 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:754631$$pGLOBAL_SET 000754631 980__ $$aEBOOK 000754631 980__ $$aBIB 000754631 982__ $$aEbook 000754631 983__ $$aOnline 000754631 994__ $$a92$$bISE
