nucleonics, n. pl. (const. as sing.)|njuːklɪˈɒnɪks|
[Blend of nucleon2 + electronics.]
The branch of science and technology concerned with nucleons and the atomic nucleus, esp. with the practical applications of nuclear phenomena and associated techniques.
1945Nature 10 Nov. 549/1 If science is to be controlled on a national level, the Association [of Oak Ridge Scientists] believes that the inevitable armament competition will prevent science, especially ‘nucleonics’, from ever being free again. 1946Z. Jeffries in Chem. & Engin. News 25 Jan. 186 ‘Nucleonics’ is the generic name used to some extent within the Atomic Energy Project during the war and its use is now gaining in popularity... Since released atomic energy and certain other phenomena [are] derived from the nuclei of atoms and thus from the nucleons, it seems appropriate that the generic name should be ‘nucleonics’. 1950Glasstone Sourcebk. Atomic Energy iv. 94 The use of the word ‘nucleonics’..was proposed by Z. Jeffries in July 1944. 1952Electronic Engin. XXIV. 533 The newer science of nucleonics is gradually leaving the nuclear physics research laboratory and finding applications aimed at producing greater productivity of our industrial processes. 1955J. A. Wheeler in W. Pauli Niels Bohr 164 Looking back, one sees in nucleonics as in so many other parts of physics how much progress can be made on the basis of simple principles. 1959Times 2 Jan. 2 Developments will range from high voltage transmission systems to nucleonics and computer design. 1966New Scientist 15 Dec. 623/1 Nucleonics—Soldering in place the printed circuit of a geiger counter kit, designed to patent specification of the UK Atomic Energy Authority. |
