| is proud to announce the new report "Wet-Steam | | | | heavy-water reactors, such as PWR, BWR, PHWR, |
| Turbines for Nuclear Power Plants" ( | | | | CANDU, and their advanced modifications. These |
| Wet-Steam Turbines for Nuclear Power Plants | | | | turbines are fed with saturated steam, and most of |
| presents a survey of modern wet-steam turbines, | | | | their stages work with wet steam. |
| addressing both full-speed and half-speed units. This | | | | While this book focuses on the understanding of |
| book explains in clear, but detailed language the | | | | turbine design, it also covers the peculiarities of |
| design features of the world's leading wet-steam | | | | operation, spotting possible imperfections, and the |
| turbine manufacturers, including the subtleties of | | | | distinct advantages of refurbishing older turbines to |
| operation of these complex components. It also | | | | gain increased output, greater reliability and efficiency. |
| gives readers comprehensive background on typical | | | | Readers will gain knowledge of design decisions by |
| repairs and maintenance planning. Mainly addressing | | | | world's main turbine producers: ALSTOM, General |
| issues concerned to owners and operators of nuclear | | | | Electric, Hitachi, LMZ, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, |
| power plants, university professors and engineering | | | | Skoda, Siemens, Toshiba and Turboatom, as well as |
| students will benefit from the thorough review of | | | | possibilities for improvement of aging turbines |
| nuclear wet-steam turbines. Discussions include | | | | currently in service. This is the first book in 20 years |
| turbines between 200 and 1,500 MW and greater, | | | | on this highly technical subject. |
