Series: JSME Series in Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation

Pressurized Water Reactors is the sixth volume in the JSME Series on Thermal and Nuclear Power Generation. In this volume, series editor Yasuo Koizumi and his volume editors, Hidehito Mimaki, Yurugi Kanzaki, and Tomofumi Yamamoto, compile all the latest research on PWRs into this comprehensive reference.

Beginning with an analysis of the history of PWR development, the reader is guided through optimum design processes for PWRs, considering safety throughout. Thermal-hydraulic aspects within the PWR system, as well as inside the reactor core, are also discussed.

This book explores the advancement and improvement of fuel and includes analysis codes for the design and safety of PWRs. The future prospects for the next generation of PWR and small modular reactors are discussed, thus providing the reader with a basis for further research of their own.

As with the other volumes in this series, this book will be an invaluable resource for nuclear and thermal engineers and researchers.

Yasuo Koizumi is a research promoter at the University of Electro- Communications. He had been an invited researcher of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency for 5 years before now. He received his PhD degree from the University of Tokyo in 1977. He started his research career at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute in 1977 as a research engineer for nuclear reactor safety. He stayed at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory from 1981 through 1983. He moved to the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Kogakuin University in 1989. Then, he moved to the Department of Functional Machinery and Mechanics of Shinshu University in 2008. He retired as professor in 2014 and he had been in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency since then. His research is focused in the areas of pool and flow boiling, critical heat flux, condensation heat transfer, and two-phase flow. He is also interested in heat transfer and fluid flow on the microscale. Since his research field is closely related to energy systems, he has great interest in thermal and nuclear power stations and energy supply in society.
