Nuclear Reactor Technology Development and Utilization

by Salah Ud-Din Khan, Alexander V. Nakhabov

Overview

Nuclear Reactor Technology Development and Utilization presents the theory and principles of the most common advanced nuclear reactor systems and provides a context for the value and utilization of nuclear power in a variety of applications both inside and outside a traditional nuclear setting. As countries across the globe realize their plans for a sustainable energy future, the need for innovative nuclear reactor design is increasing, and this book will provide a deep understanding of how these technologies can aid in a region’s goal for clean and reliable energy.

Dr Khan and Dr Nakhabov, alongside their team of expert contributors, discuss a variety of important topics, including nuclear fuel cycles, plant decommissioning and hybrid energy systems, while considering a variety of diverse uses such as nuclear desalination, hydrogen generation and radioisotope production. Knowledge acquired enables the reader to conduct further research in academia and industry, and apply the latest design, development, integration, safety and economic guidance to their work and research.

About the Author

Dr.Salah Ud-Din Khan is Associate Professor at
Sustainable Energy Technologies Center, King Saud
University, Saudi Arabia.He also gained a position of
Fellow at K.A.CARE energy research center at
Riyadh. Prior to joining KSU, he served as Assistant
Professor, Visiting Scientist, Researcher, and Lecturer at various institutes and universities. He received his PhD in Nuclear Engineering and gained higher achievements in the field of nuclear reactor safety while conducting an impressive amount of work on NK/TH coupling and in reactor core design.
His work in designing and simulation of reactors
(SMRs) is well proven and has been published in highly reputed journals. His area of research is broadening to nuclear desalination, nuclear hydrogen production,
nuclear solar hybridization, energy storage, radiological protection, nuclear forensics, and computational techniques for radiation shielding materials.
Dr. Khan teaches and supervises postgraduate students of Nuclear/Renewable
Energy at SET Center. He has published more than 150 research articles in reputed journals and conferences with an accumulative impact factor of more than 250. He authored two books and two book chapters. He has one patent on radiation technology,
which has been registered by U.S., European, and Saudi patent offices. He has been invited several times in international workshops and conferences as a speaker.

Dr. Alexander Nakhabov is currently working as Associate Professor at Obninsk Institute for
Nuclear Power Engineering of the National
Research Nuclear University MEPhI, Russia. He is a supervisor of educational programs in electronics and automation of physical installations and nuclear power engineering and thermal physics,
deputy head of the Department of Nuclear Physics and Engineering, and former dean of the Physics and Power Engineering faculty. National Research
Nuclear University MEPhI is the leading university in Russia in the education and training of specialists worldwide for nuclear power plants of Russian design and nuclear centers of science and technology. His professional interests are in methods and automated systems for nondestructive testing of nuclear power plant
(NPP) materials and pipelines; technical diagnostic systems for NPPs; and methods and algorithms for data processing and analysis including artificial intelligence and data mining methods. He worked at the Scientific Research Institute of Instrumentation and participated in in-service welding joints inspection for equipment and pipelines of Taiwan NPP (Units 1 and 2, China) within the automated ultrasonic
