Book excerpt: A monograph presenting an up-to-date overview of the thermal-hydraulic technology that underlies the design, operation, and safety assessment of boiling water nuclear reactors (BWRs), which represent a large fraction of the world's installed nuclear power capacity. Some important new material on pressure suppression containment technology has been added to this edition in order to provide readers with a more comprehensive understanding of BWR power plants. For experienced and entry-level workers in the field of nuclear energy, as well as for students of nuclear engineering. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
