Civil Engineering in the Nuclear Industry (Hardcover)

Civil engineering has an important part to play at every stage of the nuclear fuel cycle - from the choice of site and conception of the design of a major power station or fuel plan through modifications during operations, to the final stages of designing and building waste management stores and repositories. Technical demands on designers and builders of nuclear plants are ever increasing and together with ever greater safety requirements the designer has to consider natural and man-made disasters. Inevitably increased safety and quality standards result in increased costs. This book examines ways in which the industry has responded to this challenge with new methods of construction giving higher productivity and faster construction times.
