This book provides next-generation engineers with one single resource containing all relevant information, including the operational features and dynamic characterises of key reactors such as large light-water reactors and CANDU heavy-water reactors, extended onto small modular reactors, sodium fast reactors, molten-salt reactors, gas-cooled reactors, and others. It covers the dynamic modelling, response characteristic, plant control strategies and other basic instrumentation factors, while also rounding off the discussion by considering neutron kinetics, thermal-hydraulics and control principles"-- ER -
