Preface

Book Nuclear Power Plants, covers various topics, from thermal-hydraulic analysis to
the safety analysis of nuclear power plant, written by more than 30 authors. It does not
focus only on current power plant issues. Instead, it aims to address the challenging
ideas that can be implemented in and used for the development of future nuclear
power plants. This book will take the readers into the world of innovative research
and development of future plants. Find your interests inside this book!
