Nuclear Reactor Design Handbook gives you a structured, first-principles introduction to the science and engineering behind modern nuclear power plants. Written for engineering students, early-career professionals, technical readers, and anyone seeking a serious foundation in reactor technology, it explains not only what each system does, but why particular design choices are made.
Inside, you will:
Rather than presenting disconnected facts, this comprehensive reference develops a continuous line of reasoning—from the behavior of a single neutron to the operation of an entire power plant.
Whether you are preparing for advanced coursework, entering the nuclear industry, or expanding your understanding of low-carbon power generation, this handbook will help you approach reactor technology with greater clarity and confidence.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Designing a nuclear reactor requires more than understanding individual components-it demands seeing how physics, materials, thermal-hydraulics, control systems, safety, and economics work together as one integrated system.Nuclear Reactor Design Handbook gives you a structured, first-principles introduction to the science and engineering behind modern nuclear power plants. Written for engineering students, early-career professionals, technical readers, and anyone seeking a serious foundation in reactor technology, it explains not only what each system does, but why particular design choices are made.Inside, you will: - Build a practical foundation in atomic structure, radioactivity, fission, neutron behavior, criticality, and reactor kinetics- Compare pressurized water, boiling water, heavy-water, gas-cooled, fast, molten-salt, and small modular reactors- Understand nuclear fuels, moderators, coolants, cladding, structural materials, and radiation damage- Explore core design, fuel management, heat transfer, fluid flow, coolant systems, and power conversion- Examine defense in depth, containment, emergency cooling, accident analysis, radiation protection, and waste management- Connect engineering decisions with plant licensing, operations, economics, decommissioning, and emerging technologies- Reinforce important concepts through summaries at the end of all 30 chaptersRather than presenting disconnected facts, this comprehensive reference develops a continuous line of reasoning-from the behavior of a single neutron to the operation of an entire power plant.Whether you are preparing for advanced coursework, entering the nuclear industry, or expanding your understanding of low-carbon power generation, this handbook will help you approach reactor technology with greater clarity and confidence.Start building your complete foundation in nuclear reactor science and engineering today.
