Description

A spectrum of issues relevant to the nuclear power plant transients is examined. Current focus of research by the Electric Power Research Institute and by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission is mentioned. A general overview of the present status and future outlook of the nuclear industry in this area is given. Three areas received close scrutiny in this review: pressurized thermal shock, steam generator tube rupture, and station blackout. (orig.)
