Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC): A New Nuclear Power Plant Perspective Producing Energy

By Bahman Zohuri, Ali Zamani Paydar, Seyed Kamal Mousavi Balgehshiri

Nuclear engineers advancing the energy transition are understanding more about the next generation of nuclear plants, but it is difficult to obtain all the critical types, concepts, and applications in one location. Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC): A New Nuclear Power Plant Perspective for Energy gives engineers and nuclear engineering researchers the comprehensive tool to get up to date on the latest technology supporting the Generation IV nuclear plant systems. After describing a brief history, alternative technology is discussed such as electromagnetic pumps, heat pipes as control devices, and integration of Nuclear Air-Brayton Combined Cycles, helping nuclear plants provide dispatchable electricity to the grid and heat to the industry.Packed with examples and on all the types, benefits, and challenges, Advanced Reactor Concepts (ARC) delivers the go-to reference engineers need to advance safe nuclear energy as a low-carbon option.
