内容説明
This vital reference is the only one-stop resource on how to assess, prevent, and manage severe nuclear accidents in the light water reactors (LWRs) that pose the most risk to the public. LWRs are the predominant nuclear reactor in use around the world today, and they will continue to be the most frequently utilized in the near future. Therefore, accurate determination of the safety issues associated with such reactors is central to a consideration of the risks and benefits of nuclear power.
This book emphasizes the prevention and management of severe accidents, in order to teach nuclear professionals how to mitigate potential risks to the public to the maximum extent possible. Engineers, researchers, students and the personnel of vendors, safety authorities and nuclear power generation organizations require the knowledge offered by this volume's globally renowned experts to ensure they obtain a core competency in nuclear safety.
- Organizes and presents all the latest thought on LWR nuclear safety in one consolidated volume, provided by the top experts in the field, ensuring high-quality, credible and easily accessible information
- Explains how developments in the field of LWR severe accidents have provided more accurate determinations of risk, thereby shedding new light on the debates surrounding nuclear power safety, particularly in light of the recent tragedy in Japan
- Concentrates on prevention and management of accidents, developing methodologies to estimate the consequences and associated risks
著者について
Dr. Bal Raj Sehgal is recognized as one of the top-tier nuclear scientists in the world. He has contributed to the fields of reactor safety, physics, and engineering for 40+ years, through his involvement in R&D at two major US national laboratories (Argonne and Brookhaven), the Electric Power Research Institute, Purdue University, MIT, University of California at Berkeley and the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology. He is internationally recognized for his research publications, and for his many contributions to the profession, particularly in the realm of light water reactor design and analysis.
Dr. Sehgal was appointed as Chair Professor of Nuclear Power Safety at the Royal Institute of Technology in 1991, where he initiated and developed a large research program on reactor safety, which is supported by the US, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and the EU, and is considered to be one of the finest in the world. For the past 22 years, Dr. Sehgal has been active in the "Severe Accident" area, managing projects at major players such as Westinghouse, and General Electric, and serving as a reviewer to NRC and the OECD (CSNI).
Dr. Seghal has lectured extensively at conferences and institutions across the globe, from Sao Paolo and Stuttgart to Beijing and Kyoto. Prof. Sehgal is active in the nuclear power safety community in the US, Japan, Europe and Sweden. He has been invited to provide expert review of the technical aspects of research programs from Italy to the US and Russia, and has coordinated several very large European Union (EU) research programs.
Prof. Sehgal has published extensively over his career, having produced more than 360 peer-reviewed papers and reports in various esteemed journals and conference proceedings. He served as the North American Executive Editor of the Pergamon Press journal "Progress in Nuclear Energy," and currently serves on the Editorial Board of Elsevier's journal, "Nuclear Engineering and Design.
He has been the recipient of many prestigious awards from the American Nuclear Society, including the Glenn Seaborg Medal, as well as the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. He was elected a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society in 1983, a Fellow of the ASME in 1998, and as the foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 2003.

welcome addition to the field

"Nuclear Safety in Light Water Reactors: Severe Accident Phenomenology", edited by Bal Raj Sehgal, is a
recent Academic Press publication supported by the Severe Accident Network (SARNET) of the European
Commission. This is a textbook designed for students and young researchers in the field. It is the desire
of the authors to impart understanding about the complex physics of severe accidents. It contains the
results of severe accident research conducted over the last 15 years in Europe, and groundbreaking
research conducted in the United States many years previous.
This book was conceived as a textbook and was written and coordinated, chapter by chapter, by
acknowledged experts in the different disciplines of the severe accident field. Incorporating the
most recent experimental and analytical developments, including preliminary findings following
the Fukushima incident, it is noted that this is an active field of research. Some issues remain open,
uncertainties exist that will need more research, modeling, and validation.
I found the book well organized, beginning with a historical review of light water reactor safety
assessments, the safety design basis, and major unintended events such as Three Mile Island, Chernobyl,
and Fukushima. This if followed by considerations of in-vessel core degradation and containment
failure. Particularly helpful are sections on fission product release and transport, and severe accident
management. These allow the student to make sense of the bewildering mix of radioactive elements
released during a severe accident and the consequences involved.
This is a very approachable book and a welcome addition to the field.

Well assembled collection of research

If the subject of Nuclear Safety in Light Water Rectors is a topic of interest, or something you actively need information on, then this is definitely the book for you.
It's a well assembled collection of the latest research on the topic, including coverage of the Fukushima accident up through June 2011. The book also gives historical accounts of the TMI-2 and Chernobyl accidents, and does a good job of providing the historical context that explains how we got to where we are in terms of reactor design.
The book goes on to talk about the different failure modes of a light water reactor and the current research and understanding as to how various failures proceed.
The text is very readable, though I've taken away a star for inconsistency in whether acronyms are explained the first time they are used. They are in many cases, but not in others, and the book is actually not so densely technical that every reader should be expected to know all the abbreviations used. A glossary would also have helped, as would a couple pages giving a schematic diagram of a typical light water reactor system for reference.

Well Written! Easy To Understand!

This book was written with the textbook style in mind. It was targeted for engineering students or anyone thinking of following a degree in Nuclear Safety or Engineering. I think it concise and peferctly organized. The first chapter or two introduces the reader to the main subject at hand. Then it is smooth sailing from then on. Even if you are not technically smart you can enjoy the wealth od information inside. I am sure everyone has at one time wondered what went on in a Nuclear Reactor. How were they designed? Who approved them? What saftey measure were employed etc etc? What might hsppen should one fail or spring a leak? Where is the safety zone for public civilian homes surround one? Aaswers are here and very easy to understand. This book is not just about one kind of reactor. It covers most all of them.
