Boiling Water Reactors
About This Book
Boiling Water Reactors is Volume Four in the JSME Series on Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation. It is a comprehensive reference that gathers current research on BWR technology. It begins with the history of BWR development and moves on to plant design and innovations. The book guides readers through the features and systems of a BWR plant, including reactor internals, safety systems, and plant instrumentation and control. It analyzes thermal-hydraulic behavior within the reactor core alongside fuel analysis. It then compares the latest plant life management and maintenance technologies, with attention to safety and radiation protection practices. The authors also look ahead to innovations and Next Generation BWRs, weighing the prospects of designs such as High-Conversion BWRs, TRU-Burner Reactors, and Economic Simplified BWRs. The contributors are experts from leading and pioneering nuclear research organizations in the Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers, and they draw on real examples and case studies from Japan, the United States, and Europe. Societal impacts and sustainability concerns and goals are considered throughout. Plant design, thermal-hydraulics, the reactor core, and plant life management and maintenance are all covered in one volume.
