This updated edition reflects the most recent developments, with new or expanded coverage of such topics as small modular and advanced modular reactors, nuclear fuel cycle and waste disposal developments, and the role of nuclear energy in climate change abatement. Intended for undergraduate students or early postgraduate students studying nuclear engineering, this new text will also be appealing to scientifically literate non-experts wishing to be better informed about the ‘nuclear option'.
- Presents a succinct and clear explanation of the key facts and concepts on how nuclear engineering power systems function and how their related fuel supply cycles operate
- Provides full coverage of the nuclear fuel cycle, including its scientific and historical basis
- Describes a comprehensive range of relevant reactor designs, from those that are defunct, current, and in plan/construction for the future, including SMRs and GenIV
- Summarizes all major accidents and their impact on the industry and society
