1st Edition
by Omar S. Mazzoni (Author)
Covers all aspects of electrical systems for nuclear power plants written by an authority in the field
Based
on author Omar Mazzoni's notes for a graduate level course he taught in
Electrical Engineering, this book discusses all aspects of electrical
systems for nuclear power plants, making reference to IEEE nuclear
standards and regulatory documents. It covers such important topics as
the requirements for equipment qualification, acceptance testing,
periodic surveillance, and operational issues. It also provides
excellent guidance for students in understanding the basis of nuclear
plant electrical systems, the industry standards that are applicable,
and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's rules for designing and
operating nuclear plants.
Electrical Systems for Nuclear Power Plants
offers in-depth chapters covering: elements of a power system; special
regulations and requirements; unique requirements of a Class 1E power
system; nuclear plants containment electrical penetration assemblies;
on-site emergency AC sources; on-site emergency DC sources; protective
relaying; interface of the nuclear plant with the grid; station blackout
(SBO) issues and regulations; review of electric power calculations;
equipment aging and decommissioning; and electrical and control systems
inspections. This valuable resource:
- Evaluates industry standards and their relationship to federal regulations
- Discusses Class 1E equipment, emergency generation, the single failure criterion, plant life, and plant inspection
- Includes exercise problems for each chapter
Electrical Systems for Nuclear Power Plants
is an ideal text for instructors and students in electrical power
courses, as well as for engineers active in operating nuclear power
plants.
