Nuclear electric power : safety, operation and control aspects /
This book contains engineering assessments of the options for replacing the existing, aged, fossil-fired power stations with renewable, gas-fired, or nuclear plants. It also assesses the engineering of renewable sources for commercial power generation and discusses the important aspects of the desig...
