Handbook of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors, Second Edition, is a fully updated comprehensive reference on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) which reflects the latest research and technological advances in the field from the last 5 years. Editors Dan Ingersoll and Mario Carelli, along with their team of expert contributors, combine their wealth of combined experience to update this comprehensive handbook which provides the reader with all required knowledge on SMRs, expanding on the rapidly growing interest and development of SMRs around the globe. After an introduction to using SMRs for power generation and an overview of international developments, this book provides an analysis of Integral Pressurized Water Reactors. The second part of the book is dedicated to SMR technologies, including I&C, human-system interfaces and safety aspects. Part three applies the knowledge acquired to the implementation of SMRs, covering economic factors, construction methods, hybrid energy systems and SMRs and important licensing considerations. The final part of the book provides an in-depth analysis of SMR R&D and deployment of SMRs within 8 different locations in turn, including the USA, Republic of Korea, Russia, China and Japan. This edition also includes brand new content on the UK and Canada where SMRs have increased considerably since the first edition published. This authoritative and practical handbook benefits engineers, designers, operators and regulators working in nuclear energy, as well as academics and graduate students researching nuclear reactor technologies. Presents the latest research on SMR technologies and practice from a global perspectiveIncludes new case study chapters on the UK and CanadaPresents new technologies such as floating SMRs and Molten Salt SMRs INDICE: Part I: Fundamentals of small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) 1.
