Assesses the engineering of renewable sources for commercial power generation and discusses the safety, operation, and control aspects of nuclear electric power
From an expert who advised the European Commission and UK government in the aftermath of Three Mile Island and Chernobyl comes a book that contains experienced engineering assessments of the options for replacing the existing, aged, fossil-fired power stations with renewable, gas-fired, or nuclear plants. From geothermal, solar, and wind to tidal and hydro generation, Nuclear Electric Power: Safety, Operation, and Control Aspects assesses the engineering of renewable sources for commercial power generation and discusses the important aspects of the design, operation, and safety of nuclear stations. Nuclear Electric Power offers:Novel, practical engineering assessments for geothermal, hydro, solar, tidal, and wind generation in terms of the available data on cost, safety, environmental damage, capacity factor reliability, and grid compatibility, with some nuclear comparisons
Eigenvalues and real frequency response functions to assess the stabilities of reactor power, two-phase channel flow, and a Grid network
A non-linear control strategy with simulation results for a Design Base Accident scenario
Original analyses with experimental validation of molten fuel coolant interactions and aircraft impacts on rigid structures
Analysis of the circumstances that led to the Fukushima disaster
Author Biography
J. Brian Knowles, PhD, DSc, now retired, remainsprofessionally active with CEN Grenoble and KfK, where he compiledthe results of European-wide MFCI experiments. In 1993, he visitedthe Russian Federation to discuss fast reactor collaboration aspart of the European Commission’s Whole Core Accident Committee andwas later a member of the OECD-CSNI working group on water reactoraccident management. Dr. Knowles was also a UKAEA Section Head ofThermal Dynamics at Winfrith, where he was responsible for acomprehensive modular simulation of intact plant dynamics used inAGR and proposed fast reactor designs.
