Wet-Steam Turbines for Nuclear Power Plants Hardcover - 2005

by Alexander Leyzerovich

From the publisher

As traditional fossil fuels are depleted and world demand for power increases, nuclear-generated electricity has a strong future. This volume by a world-renowned scientist should be a must-read for all nuclear power plant personnel. With the widespread deployment of wet-steam turbines at nuclear power plants worldwide, readily available information on operations and maintenance is a critical factor. Wet-Steam Turbines for Nuclear Power Plants presents in-depth information essential for plant operators and managers. This book explains in clear, but detailed language, the design process by the world's leading wet-steam turbine manufacturers. It also gives readers comprehensive instruction on the subtleties of operation and maintenance of these complex components.

First line

The first kilowatt-hours of electricity from nuclear energy were produced on December 20, 1951, in the United States by a steam turbine generator fed with steam from Experimental Breeder Reactor-I (EBR-I).

About the author

Dr. Alexander Leyzerovich has more than 40 years of experience in analysis, research, and development for large steam-turbine power units, both serviced and newly designed. He graduated from Moscow Power Engineering Technological University as a mechanical engineer with a major in power steam turbine design before working as a leading specialist at the All-Russian Thermal Engineering Research Institute. There he became chief researcher, focusing on cycling operation of steam-turbine power units, unsteady temperature and thermal-stress states of diagnostics, as well as information support for the operational personnel. For years he also engaged in research and development for wet-steam turbines of nuclear power plants. In 1994, Dr. Leyzerovich relocated to the United States, where he works as a power engineering consultant. He also contributes to professional periodicals, and is the author and coauthor of about 200 published papers in Russian and English, as well as author of several professional books, including the two-volume Large Power Steam Turbines: Design & Operation, published by PennWell.
