Book ·
OSTI ID:6456631
This book describes how the basic engineering principles involved in the field of nuclear fuel management are translated into practice. Due to the broad nature of the subject, the quantitative discussion is confined to the areas of fuel design and fuel irradiation or utilization. The material is divided into four main parts. Part One consists of three chapters that survey the activities and systems involved in generating electricity from nuclear energy. Part Two consists of four chapters that cover the nuclear analysis aspects of nuclear fuel management. Part Three evaluates the energy generating capability of nuclear fuel. The final three chapters of the book deal with nuclear power economics, in-core fuel management, and plutonium utilization, respectively.
