The Risks of Nuclear Energy Technology Safety Concepts of Light Water Reactors /

The book analyses the risks of nuclear power stations. The security concept of reactors is explained. Measures against the spread of radioactivity after a severe accident, accidents of core melting and a possible crash of an air plane on a reactor containment are discussed. The book covers three sci...
