Thermal-Hydraulic Principles and Safety Analysis Guidelines of PWRs and iPWR-SMRs

Capture immediate attention with a clear, authoritative resource on modern reactor safety: Thermal-Hydraulic Principles and Safety Analysis Guidelines of PWRs and iPWR-SMRs by Christophe Herer is an indispensable guide for engineers, regulators, researchers, and graduate students working in nuclear energy.

This practical volume distills core thermal-hydraulic theory and translates it into actionable safety analysis strategies for both traditional pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and emerging integral PWR & small modular reactors (iPWR-SMRs). Herer bridges fundamental topics—two-phase flow, heat transfer, core cooling and transient behavior—with contemporary regulatory expectations and design practices, making complex phenomena accessible without sacrificing technical rigor.

Readers will find clear explanations of modeling approaches, transient and accidental scenario evaluation, and criteria used in deterministic and best-estimate safety assessments. Emphasis on real-world applicability makes this title especially useful for those preparing safety cases, performing licensing analyses, or optimizing plant operational procedures across global markets—from Europe and North America to Asia and beyond.

Why this book stands out: it pairs concise theoretical foundations with practical guidelines and pathway-focused insights that help translate analysis into safer design and operations. The tone remains technically robust yet readable, suitable for professionals seeking a dependable reference and students building career-ready expertise.

Add this essential reference to your library to enhance your capacity to evaluate, design, and communicate thermal-hydraulic safety for modern reactor fleets. Order your copy of Christophe Herer’s authoritative guide and stay at the forefront of nuclear safety practice.
