Ernst & Sohn - Design and Construction of Nuclear Power Plants

As nations look toward low CO2 emission solutions to support their baseload energy supply, nuclear energy remains a key component of a reliable energy strategy. This specialized volume from the Beton-Kalender Series provides a deep look into the unique engineering requirements of these facilities. Building structures for nuclear plants involves much more than conventional construction methods. Because these buildings serve a protective function, they are classified as safety-related and must adhere to stringent construction standards. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the design and construction processes necessary to meet these high-level safety requirements. Whether you are studying civil engineering or working within the energy sector, this text provides the technical context needed to understand the complexities of nuclear infrastructure. It serves as a vital resource for understanding how large-scale power stations are designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern energy production and safety protocols.
