Nuclear Power Reactor Designs

Nuclear Power Reactor Designs by Jun Wang

Nuclear Power Reactor Designs: From History to Advances analyzes nuclear designs throughout history and explains how each of those has helped to shape and inform the nuclear reactor designs of today and the future. Focused on the structure, systems and relevant components of each reactor design, this book provides the readers with answers to key questions to help them understand the benefits of each design. Each reactor design is introduced, their origin defined, and the relevant research presented before an analysis of its successes, what was learned, and how research and technology advanced as a result are presented. Students, researchers and early career engineers will gain a solid understanding of how nuclear designs have evolved, and how they will continue to develop in the future.

Dr. Jun Wang is a Research Scientist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He has over 10 years of experience in code development, validation, and application, and his research areas include nuclear thermal hydraulics and safety, severe accident, fuel performance, and advanced reactors. Wang has over 50 peer-review articles published on top nuclear journals and conferences. He also has over 200 peer-review experience in 20 journals and conferences, such as the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Applied Thermal Engineering, Annals of Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Technology, Nuclear Engineering and Design, and Progress in Nuclear Energy. Dr. Sola Talabi (sola@pit-tech.com) is a Principal with Pittsburgh Technical, a nuclear consulting firm specializing in advanced reactor design and deployment. He is also an adjunct professor of nuclear engineering at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Michigan. Sola's experience includes design, computational numerical analysis, manufacturing, installation, and nuclear power plant components testing. His experience includes serving as Risk Manager at Westinghouse Electric Company, where he was responsible for risk awareness, assessment, and response for advanced reactors, including AP1000 and SMR. Dr. V. H. Sanchez-Espinoza (victor.sanchez@kit.edu) is a nuclear engineer with a PhD from the Dresden University of Technology, Germany. He is Deputy Institute Director and Head of the Group "Reactor Physic and Dynamics" at the Institute of Neutron Physics and Reactor Technology (INR) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). He has more than 20 years of experience on reactor physics, safety-related thermal hydraulics and reactor safety for research reactors and nuclear power plants of Gen-II, III, including SMR.
