Covers all aspects of electrical systems for nuclear power plants written by an authority in the field Based on author Omar Mazzoni's notes for a graduate level course he taught in Electrical Engineering, this book discusses all aspects of electrical systems for nuclear power plants, making reference to IEEE nuclear standards and regulatory documents. It covers such important topics as the requirements for equipment qualification, acceptance testing, periodic surveillance, and operational issues. It also provides excellent guidance for students in understanding the basis of nuclear plant electrical systems, the industry standards that are applicable, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission' rules for designing and operating nuclear plants.' Electrical Systems for Nuclear Power Plants offers in-depth chapters covering: elements of a power system
special regulations and requirements
unique requirements of a Class 1E power system
nuclear plants containment electrical penetration assemblies
on-site emergency AC sources
on-site emergency DC sources
protective relaying
interface of the nuclear plant with the grid
station blackout (SBO) issues and regulations
review of electric power calculations
equipment aging and decommissioning
and electrical and control systems inspections. This valuable resource: -Evaluates industry standards and their relationship to federal regulations -Discusses Class 1E equipment, emergency generation, the single failure criterion, plant life, and plant inspection -Includes exercise problems for each chapter Electrical Systems for Nuclear Power Plants is an ideal text for instructors and students in electrical power courses, as well as for engineers active in operating nuclear power plants.
