Description
In this book, expert authors recognize the renewed relevance of nuclear power in the U.S. after decades of stagnation. It was imperative to develop an up-to-date, scholarly work on containment structures, incorporating the underlying codes, regulations, safety significance, history, design philosophy, design experience, operating experience, and application to new design. This book will benefit the nuclear industry, as it transitions to a new generation of designers, constructors, and regulators. The book will be a valuable asset to the nuclear utilities, nuclear regulators, A/Es, and international organizations involved in the design and construction of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs).
