Nuclear Systems, Vol. 1: Thermal Hydraulic Fundamentals

Nuclear power is in the midst of a generational change―with new reactor designs, plant subsystems, fuel concepts, and other information that must be explained and explored―and after the 2011 Japan disaster, nuclear reactor technologies are, of course, front and center in the public eye.
Written by leading experts from MIT, Nuclear Systems Volume I: Thermal Hydraulic Fundamentals, Second Edition provides an in-depth introduction to nuclear power, with a focus on thermal hydraulic design and analysis of the nuclear core. A close examination of new developments in nuclear systems, this book will help readers―particularly students―to develop the knowledge and design skills required to improve the next generation of nuclear reactors.
