Résumé

Nuclear Engineering : A Conceptual Introduction to Nuclear Power provides coverage of the introductory, salient principles of nuclear engineering through to the concepts that someone entering the profession at the end of their degree needs to know. The nuclear power industry is undergoing a renaissance as a result of the desire for low-carbon baseload electricity. The extent of this change and related, topical areas of interest are covered in a contemporary and accessible way in this work.
Intended for undergraduate students studying nuclear engineering or postgraduate students new to the subject area, this new text will also appeal to scientifically-literate non-experts wishing to be better informed about the "nuclear option". Key features : presents a succinct and clear explanation of the key facts and concepts behind the way in which nuclear engineering power systems function and their related fuel supply cycles operate ; includes full coverage of the nuclear fuel cycle including its scientific and historical basis ; describes a comprehensive range of relevant reactor designs, past and present, and those in plan/construction for the future, including SMRs and GenIV ; summarizes all major accidents and their impact on the industry and society.
