Prepared for the Division of Reactor Development and Technology U. S. Atomic Energy CommissionThe book is intended for the designers and operators of power-reactor instrumentation systems, i.e. , those concerned with the applications, not with the invention of devices. All systems aspects are discussed, including the problems associated with integrating individual components into subsystems and systems, the so-called "interface" problems. The requirements (or design bases) to be satisfied by each system and subsystem are given, and current practices are outlined and evaluated. As the title indicates, systems associated with the nuclear power reactor are considered. Systems associated with the electric power generated and with generator operation are not discussed. In a sense the book is
concerned with steam generation by nuclear reactors, although the fact that a turbogenerator is being driven by the steam does become involved in some of the instrumentation systems discussed.Contents
