Handbook of Generation IV Nuclear Reactors Edition 2

This second edition of the Handbook Generation IV Nuclear Reactors1 combines history development, research, industrial-operating experience, advanced designs, systems, and safety analysis, applications nuclear energy. Impressive number 64 recognized nuclear-energy-system experts from 13 nuclear-power countries: Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, Republic Korea, Ukraine, Switzerland, UK, USA, contributed to this book. The builds on successes first published in 2016 (Handbook Reactors, 2016. Editor: I. L. Pioro, Elsevier – Woodhead Publishing). Arguably it is most comprehensive book solely dedicated Generation-IV reactors. Understandably, there were many new developments that have happened research development reactors since has been published. Therefore, present serves important purpose summarizing latest achievements, developments, trends provides an almost encyclopedic up-to-date resource. world's future balanced environmentally friendly energy production mitigation climate changes lies amongst others next generation nuclear-energy systems: other reactor concepts/designs, which offer potential solutions problems current mix. New designs including small modular micro-reactors (SMMRs) regulations must incorporate understanding engineering/scientific discipline. addresses some these challenges comes at right time increasing competition different systems their path fully commercialization. It recommended for a wide range specialists, professionals, practitioners within areas power engineering, mechanical environmental as well academia undergraduate graduate students textbook.The divided into four parts twenty-six chapters with nine appendices spread over 1100 pages, plus 184 pages Appendices. aptly punctuated mix figures, graphs, diagrams, tables, bullet points make easier understand material. placement logical methodical easy flow We should mention Preface written by International Forum (GIF), promoted GIF website.2
