Nuclear Systems Volume II: Elements of Thermal Hydraulic Design - Hardcover

A follow-up to the authors' Nuclear Systems Volume 1: Thermal Hydraulic Fundamentals, Second Edition, Nuclear Systems Volume 2: Elements of Thermal Hydraulic Design, Second Edition provides advanced coverage of a wide variety of thermal fluid systems and technologies in nuclear power plants. A major change is coverage of the latest reactor designs, and their thermal/fluid technologies. Volume 2, Second Edition covers a variety of nuclear power plant subsystems, as well as those related to the nuclear core.

Dr. Neil E. Todreas is a Professor Emeritus in the Nuclear Engineering department at M.I.T. He has extensive nuclear power experience, having led an industry review group on the Three Mile Island situation from 1983-1988 and served on the NRC's Reactor Safety Research Committee. In addition to his part-time teaching and research, Dr. Todreas continues to be a leading consultant to industry and government. He is a Fellow at the ASME and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

Dr. Mujid S. Kazimi was a professor and former head of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at MIT. He had extensive nuclear power experience, having served on the Board of Managers of the Idaho National Energy Laboratory. He was a Fellow at the American Nuclear Society and the AAAS, and a member of the AIChE, ASME, and ASEE. Dr. Kazimi had been involved with several nuclear safety studies throughout his career, covering reactor systems, as well as their fuel cycles. He passed away in 2015. In the memorial service held for him at M.I.T., Dr. Kazimi was described as “one of the world’s most distinguished educators and researchers in the field of nuclear technology. His outstanding scientific and engineering achievements are recognized around the world.”
