Developing sufficient energy resources to replace coal, oil and
gas is a globally critical necessity. Alternatives to fossil fuels
such as wind, solar, or geothermal energies are desirable, but the
usable quantities are limited and each has inherent deterrents. The
only virtually unlimited energy source is nuclear energy, where
safety of infrastructure systems is the paramount concern.
"Infrastructure Systems for Nuclear Energy" addresses the analysis
and design of infrastructures associated with nuclear energy. It
provides an overview of the current and future nuclear power
industry and the infrastructure systems from the perspectives of
regulators, operators, practicing engineers and research academics.
This book also provides details on investigations of containment
structures, nuclear waste storage facilities and the applications
of commercial/academic computer software. Specific environments
that challenge the behavior of nuclear power plants infrastructure
systems such as earthquake, blast, high temperature, irradiation
effects, soil-structure interaction effect, etc., are also
discussed. Key features: - Includes contributions from global
experts representing academia and industry- Provides an overview of
the nuclear power industry and nuclear infrastructure systems-
Presents the state-of-the-art as well as the future direction for
nuclear civil infrastructure systemsInfrastructure Systems for
Nuclear Energy is a comprehensive, up-to-date reference for
researchers and practitioners working in this field and for
graduate studies in civil and mechanical engineering.
