Inhaltsangabe

Nuclear Power Reactor Designs: From History to Advances analyzes nuclear designs throughout history and explains how each of those has helped to shape and inform the nuclear reactor designs of today and the future. Focused on the structure, systems and relevant components of each reactor design, this book provides the readers with answers to key questions to help them understand the benefits of each design. Each reactor design is introduced, their origin defined, and the relevant research presented before an analysis of its successes, what was learned, and how research and technology advanced as a result are presented.

Students, researchers and early career engineers will gain a solid understanding of how nuclear designs have evolved, and how they will continue to develop in the future.

Nuclear Power Reactor Designs: From History to Advances analyses nuclear designs through history and explains how each of those has helped to shape and inform the nuclear reactor designs of today and for the future. Focused on the structure, systems and relevant components of each reactor design, this book provides the readers with answers to key questions to help them understand the benefits of each design.

Each reactor design is introduced, their origin defined, and the relevant research presented, before an analysis of its successes, what was learned, and how research and technology advanced as a result.
