Produktbeschreibung
This book offers a complete panorama of the pressurized water reactor industry, beginning from its origin in the USA and the realization of nuclear engines for naval propulsion, to its most recent developments in the field of civil energy production, particularly in France with the 56 reactors of the multinational electric utility company, Electricité de France (EDF). This comprehensive two-volume masterwork features detailed descriptions of all the crucial components driving a pressurized water nuclear reactor. Volume 1 deals with the main components, such as the main primary circuit, the reactor core, and the steam generators. Volume 2 covers the secondary circuit and the cold source, including components such as the turbine, condenser, alternator, transformers and power supply.

Written by Serge Marguet, a leading specialist in reactor physics and author of several books on the subject, this book draws on his experience of more than 35 years in research and developmentat EDF, a global leader in civil nuclear energy. Featuring a richly illustrated, full-color iconography, as well as a detailed index and bibliography, The Technology of Pressurized Water Reactors is an indispensable work for seasoned nuclear energy professionals, as well as inquisitive newcomers to the field.

Autorenporträt
Serge Marguet has a double training as a hydraulic engineer (ENSHG, Grenoble, France) and as a computer engineer (ENSIMAG, Grenoble). He is currently an expert in neutronics and reactor physics at EDF/R&D where he has been working on nuclear reactor calculation codes since 1987. He is in charge of nuclear teaching at EDF/R&D within the framework of the Institute of Technology Transfer (ITECH) in collaboration with the Institute of Nuclear Sciences and Techniques (INSTN). Appointed industrial expert at the International Institute for Nuclear Energy (I2EN) in 2014, he participates in the evaluation of nuclear education in France, in support of the French Nuclear Industry (GIFEN). As a European expert on severe accidents, he has been involved in the evaluation of European Community research projects (PCRD). He is the author of many reference books on nuclear power, like "The Physics of Nuclear Reactors" (Springer-Verlag, 2017). His current interests are making softwares to assist operators in the plant control room, full scale real time simulators, and a new book on the operation and safety of PWRs.
