Description

The Handbook of Generation IV Nuclear Reactors, published by Elsevier as part of the Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy, provides a deep look into the future of nuclear power. While 96% of the world's 430 power reactors currently use water-cooled Generation III and III+ technology, these systems operate with thermal efficiencies between 32% and 36%. This is notably lower than modern advanced thermal power plants, such as combined cycle gas-fired plants reaching 62% or supercritical pressure coal-fired plants reaching 55%. This book examines the limitations of the current fleet and the necessity of moving toward advanced reactor designs to increase thermal efficiency and improve energy output.

Key Features

This Elsevier publication is part of the specialized Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy.

The text examines the current global fleet of 430 power reactors and their technology.

It provides technical comparisons between Generation III/III+ water-cooled reactors and advanced thermal plants.

The content analyzes thermal efficiency ranges for current nuclear power plants compared to gas and coal-fired systems.
