Full Spectrum: Nuclear Power

Description

Full Spectrum: Nuclear Power

522 pages. 21 parts. 116 exhibits.

An institutional volume on how the nuclear industry actually works. History, physics, every reactor family in service and in development, the systems and components that make up a plant, how one gets built and how it is run, safety and risk, economics, regulation, and the supply chain that feeds all of it. Civil power, the full fuel cycle, defense, naval, space and isotopes. Global, country by country. Includes full profiles of 37 companies across the value chain.

The reference workbook. 31 tabs.

Built to be used rather than read. A directory of 72 operating units and a census of 121 reactor designs across 19 families, a ledger covering 39 countries, and a value chain mapping 262 organizations across 16 steps. Eight working calculators: capital cost, levelized cost, enrichment, fuel cost, operating economics, uprate economics, decommissioning funding and spent fuel accumulation. Plus a 102 term glossary and 56 acronyms, so nothing in the volume needs looking up elsewhere.

The forecast model. 27 tabs. 2026 to 2050.

A bottom up model of physical demand, built product by product. 166 products across 17 segments, from the nuclear island and containment through valves, pumps, heat exchangers, piping, the turbine island, electrical, instrumentation and control, cooling, civil works and materials, plus the fuel cycle, services, the back end and life extension. Bear, Base and Bull cases computed side by side rather than toggled. Every driver is an input you can change, and the model recomputes.

You receive: the volume as a PDF and as a PowerPoint, the reference workbook, and the forecast model.
