The clamor for non-carbon dioxide emitting energy production has directly impacted on the development of nuclear energy. As new nuclear plants are built, plans and designs are continually being developed to manage the range of challenging requirement and problems that nuclear plants face especially when managing the greatly increased operating temperatures, irradiation doses and extended design…

The first paper in the first section of this book: Theory, Mechanism, and Simulation provides a thorough overview of the importance of tribological design. Many hydraulic wear and failure problems could be eliminated if appropriate design principles were employed. The remaining papers in this section, taken together, provide the reader with a thorough overview of fundamental principles involved…
Where many other textbooks concentrate on the theoretical issues surrounding the nature of human reliability and try to explain and prove why people err, we have chosen a different path. This text presents a summary of methods and techniques and data and concepts as they are applied in the practice of HRA. What we do first in our text is to simply report the facts-- to locate the probabilistic …
