Features: This book systematically and comprehensively introduces the basic knowledge of nuclear reactors, with a focus on reactor materials, reactor physics, reactor thermodynamics and hydraulics, as well as reactor safety. The content of the book is primarily based on pressurized water reactors (PWRs) used in nuclear power plants, while also introducing different types of nuclear reactors such as naval reactors, space reactors, boiling water reactors (BWRs), heavy water reactors (HWRs), and gas-cooled reactors. The book covers a broad range of disciplines and fields, with a wide scope of professional knowledge, including the main specialized knowledge of power reactors. It reflects the current development trends in nuclear reactor engineering. This book can serve as a graduate textbook for students majoring in nuclear science and technology at universities, as well as a reference book for training personnel involved in the design, operation, and management of nuclear power plants and naval nuclear power systems.
