The Thermal Hydraulics of a Boiling Water Nuclear Reactor
Author: Richard T. LaheyPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Boiling water reactors
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
A monograph presenting an up-to-date overview of the thermal-hydraulic technology that underlies the design, operation, and safety assessment of boiling water nuclear reactors (BWRs), which represent a large fraction of the world's installed nuclear power capacity. Some important new material on pressure suppression containment technology has been added to this edition in order to provide readers with a more comprehensive understanding of BWR power plants. For experienced and entry-level workers in the field of nuclear energy, as well as for students of nuclear engineering. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Pages : 618
Book Description
Boiling Water Reactors, Volume Four in the JSME Series on Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation compiles the latest research in this very comprehensive reference that begins with an analysis of the history of BWR development and then moves through BWR plant design and innovations. The reader is guided through considerations for all BWR plant features and systems, including reactor internals, safety systems and plant instrumentation and control. Thermal-hydraulic aspects within a BWR core are analyzed alongside fuel analysis before comparisons of the latest BWR plant life management and maintenance technologies to promote safety and radiation protection practices are covered. The book's authors combine their in-depth knowledge and depth of experience in the field to analyze innovations and Next Generation BWRs, considering prospects for a variety of different BWRs, such as High-Conversion-BWRs, TRU-Burner Reactors and Economic Simplified BWRs. Written by experts from the leaders and pioneers in nuclear research at the Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers Includes real examples and case studies from Japan, the US and Europe to provide a deeper learning opportunity with practical benefits Considers societal impacts and sustainability concerns and goals throughout the discussion Explores BWR plant design, thermal-hydraulic aspects, the reactor core and plant life management and maintenance in one complete resource

Book Description
The construction of nuclear power plants in the United States is stopping, as regulators, reactor manufacturers, and operators sort out a host of technical and institutional problems. This volume summarizes the status of nuclear power, analyzes the obstacles to resumption of construction of nuclear plants, and describes and evaluates the technological alternatives for safer, more economical reactors. Topics covered include: Institutional issues-including regulatory practices at the federal and state levels, the growing trends toward greater competition in the generation of electricity, and nuclear and nonnuclear generation options. Critical evaluation of advanced reactors-covering attributes such as cost, construction time, safety, development status, and fuel cycles. Finally, three alternative federal research and development programs are presented.
