Synopsis

Publication of this book completes a project begun with the first volume, Reactor Physics and Control.

These books are the product of Project SIFTOR (Safety Information for the Technology of Reactors), a coordinated effort sponsored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to evaluate critically, organize, and generalize the growing body of information concerned with safety problems in reactor design and operation. Many leading authorities have contributed to this project, and their studies range in treatment from normal day-to-day operation to catastrophic accidents. The history of specific accidents is reviewed, as is that of destructive tests (“intentional accidents”). The results of numerous theoretical and experimental studies of reactor excursions (“runaways”) are synthesized by mathematical models. The problems of containing or confining the energy and radioactive debris that would be released by a serious accident at a reactor installation are considered in detail, as are the safety problems associated with nonnuclear phases of reactor design: mechanical components, chemical reactions, fluid flow, and heat transfer.
