How to Drive a Nuclear Reactor
Tucker, Colin.

How to Drive a Nuclear Reactor[electronic resource] /by Colin Tucker. - 1st ed. 2019. - XVII, 264 p. 131 illus., 122 illus. in color.online resource. - Popular Science,2626-6113. - Popular Science,.

One Man and His Dog -- Physics is Phun -- Being Friendly to Neutrons -- Criticality is Not as Bad as it Sounds -- What Makes Nuclear Special? -- The Thing you put your Reactor in.... -- Pull the Rods Out and Stand Back -- Watt Power? -- Your Reactor is Stable (Part One) -- You've got to do Something with all that Steam... -- The Big Red Button -- Your Reactor is Stable (Part Two) -- Putting a Spin on it -- Going Up! -- Power, and How to Change it -- Steady Power with Nothin to do? -- It's All About Safety -- What Can Go Wrong (and what you can do about it...) -- Smaller isn't Always Easier -- What Else Can Go Wrong? -- When you run out of Oomph -- Other Reactor Designs are Available -- How to Build your own Reactor -- And there's more... -- Conclusion.

Have you ever wondered how a nuclear power station works? This book will answer that question. It’ll take you on a journey from the science behind nuclear reactors, through their start-up, operation and shutdown. Along the way it covers a bit of the engineering, reactor history, different kinds of reactors and what can go wrong with them. Much of this is seen from the viewpoint of a trainee operator on a Pressurised Water Reactor - the most common type of nuclear reactor in the world. Colin Tucker has spent the last thirty years keeping reactors safe. Join him on a tour that is the next best thing to driving a nuclear reactor yourself!
