Steam Generators for Nuclear Power Plants, Second Edition continues its legacy of examining all phases of the lifecycle of nuclear steam generators (NSGs), components which are essential for the efficient and safe operation of nuclear reactors. This book is broken into three sections: design and manufacturing, operation and maintenance, and emerging topics. This revised edition includes new chapters on fitness for service guidelines; VVER steam generators; leakage through cracked tubes; secondary side components; full bundle probabilistic analysis; maintenance of steam generators; probabilistic models for steam generator life cycle predictions; steam generators for small modular and advanced nuclear reactors, and much more.
This timely revision serves as a resource for professionals involved in all phases of the NSG lifecycle, from design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance, to fitness-for-service and long-term operation. It is also intended as a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in a range of topics relating to NSG lifecycle management.
