Energy Transport,), the heat must be transported away at the same rate as it is generated. Although we have seen that negative reactivity feedback, if present, tends to limit power increases, it is essential for the heat generation-heat removal rate balance to be maintained, to prevent temperatures that might result

Environmental Effects of Nuclear Power and Waste Management,ny cases, the achievement of a balance between the benefits of the activity and the impact on the environment has resulted in controversy. Therefore, before considering nuclear power effects, it is helpful to examine what is meant by environmental “contamination” and the effects of fossil-fueled ene

Nuclear Reactor Safety and Regulation,nontechnical considerations that are relevant. First, there is the matter of terminology. The word . is generally defined as “freedom from danger or hazard,” while . means “the chance of injury or loss.” We will examine these terms more carefully later when we discuss the subject of risk analysis.

Power Reactor Systems,ave discussed many such principles that apply particularly to light-water reactors (LWRs). A brief overview of pressurized-water (PWR) and boiling-water reactors (BWR) was given in Chapter 1 to provide a general background and the material in subsequent chapters tended to further develop an understa

One aid is to recognize certain portions of the plant having a common function as a ., a term that we will explain further shortly. Decisions regarding dependencies between systems can be expedited by this type of representation.
