520 |a This book contains engineering assessments of the options for replacing the existing, aged, fossil-fired power stations with renewable, gas-fired, or nuclear plants. It also assesses the engineering of renewable sources for commercial power generation and discusses the important aspects of the design, operation, and safety of nuclear stations. It includes: practical engineering assessments for geothermal, hydro, solar, tidal, and wind generation in terms of the available data on cost, safety, environmental damage, capacity factor reliability, and grid compatibility, with some nuclear comparisons; Eigenvalues and real frequency response functions to assess the stabilities of reactor power, two-phase channel flow, and a Grid network; a non-linear control strategy with simulation results for a Design Base Accident scenario; original analyses with experimental validation of molten fuel coolant interactions and aircraft impacts on rigid structures; analysis of the circumstances that led to the Fukushima disaster. --  |c Edited summary from book.
