Book Description
This book traces the relatively new role of electricity in our energy history, discusses old and new ways of producing it (and related environmental issues), and closes with an agenda of technology-related issues that await decisions. Topics are presented in nine chapters. Chapters focus on (1) energy use; (2) energy demand; (3) energy supply; (4) principles of electric power generation; (5) today's generating options, focusing on power from fossil fuels, nuclear power, and dry steam geothermal energy; (6) future generating options, considering clean coal combustion, solar power, wind power, ocean power, biomass conversion, emerging geothermal options, fuel cells, breeder reactors, and nuclear fusion; (7) electricity storage and delivery; (8) environmental concerns; and (9) making energy decisions. A glossary of key vocabulary words, reading list, list of information sources, and index are included. (JN)

Nuclear Systems
Author: Neil E. Todreas
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781560320883
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 802
Book Description
This edition builds on earlier traditions in providing broad subject-area coverage, application of theory to practical aspects of commercial nuclear power, and use of instructional objectives. Like the first edition, it focuses on what distinguishes nuclear engineering from the other engineering disciplines. However, this edition includes reorganization and overall update of descriptions of reactor designs and fuel-cycle steps, and more emphasis on reactor safety, especially related to technical and management lessons learned from the TMI-2 and Chernobyl - 4 accidents.
