These proceedings present the latest information on software reliability, industrial safety, cyber security, physical protection, testing and verification for nuclear power plants. The papers were selected from more than 80 submissions and presented at the First International Symposium on Software Reliability, Industrial Safety, Cyber Security and Physical Protection for Nuclear Power Plants, held in Yinchuan, China on May 30 - June 1, 2016. The primary aim of this symposium was to provide a platform to facilitate the discussion for comprehension, application and management of digital...

This publication is an important adjunct to several previously published
documents prepared to inform, educate and assist the reader in adequately
considering and planning for the many major activities involved in the design,
construction and start-up of cogeneration and combined cycle power plants.
Experience has shown that failure to consider the complex interrelationships
between the various component systems can result in costly delays in project
completion and turn over dates. Additionally, incorrect procedures and planning
can result in...

If you are pro-nuclear, you have something important to add to the energy debate. You don't need to be silent This book will help you make your voice heard.

Nuclear power is the largest source of clean energy production in the United States and a major source world-wide. Advocates appreciate the importance of nuclear power for clean air and for our planet's future.

In this book, award-winning author Meredith Angwin guides you in your advocacy:

• How you can support nuclear energy simply sitting at your computer.

• How to support nuclear energy in...

This revised text covers the fundamentals of thermodynamics required to understand electrical power generation systems and the application of these principles to nuclear reactor power plant systems. The book begins with fundamental definitions of units and dimensions, thermodynamic variables and the Laws of Thermodynamics progressing to sections on specific applications of the Brayton and Rankine cycles for power generation and projected reactor systems design issues. It is not a traditional general thermodynamics text, per se, but a practical thermodynamics volume intended to explain the...

Recently a symbiotic relationship between particle and nuclear physics has developed, with techniques and ideas from one field fertilizing developments in the other. This work outlines concepts from modern particle physics important to the current understanding of nuclear physics and reviews experiments involving nuclei which have influenced the present particle physics view of the weak interaction. In his discussion, the author summarizes both past and present activity in the field and identifies areas for future work. Familiarity with quantum mechanics is assumed in the presentation of...

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the computerized core monitoring techniques currently employed at pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR) nuclear power plants. It also offers a brief overview of the corresponding techniques at research and materials testing reactors.

The book combines detailed descriptions of the theoretical background and fundamental underlying principles as well as the practical applications of core surveillance. It not only provides numerous industrial examples to illustrate how complex computerized systems are able to...
