Download or read book Sizewell B Power Station written by Simon Fullalove and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 1995 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning -u2 billion Sizewell B nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast north east of Ipswich is the UK's first pressurized water reactor (PWR) electricity generation plant. Completed in 1995 it set new design and safety standards for PWR stations and has become a model for future PWR developments both in the UK and overseas. Compared with US designs the Sizewell B reactor design has 10 per cent thicker primary containment and a further 300mm thick secondary containment dome. The five refereed papers in this special issue of ICE Proceedings are written by senior members of the project team and cover the planning, design and construction of the power station together with its 56 m deep diaphragm cut-off wall and 900 m immersed tube cooling water tunnels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how a nuclear power station works? This lively book will answer that question. It’ll take you on a journey from the science behind nuclear reactors, through their start-up, operation and shutdown. Along the way it covers a bit of the engineering, reactor history, different kinds of reactors and what can go wrong with them. Much of this is seen from the viewpoint of a trainee operator on a Pressurised Water Reactor - the most common type of nuclear reactor in the world. Colin Tucker has spent the last thirty years keeping reactors safe. Join him on a tour that is the next best thing to driving a nuclear reactor yourself!

Download or read book Seeds of the Willow written by Chong Lewe and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-09 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the few early Korean foreign students in America, the author has attempted to describe his experience in America as a foreign student, and eventually as a naturalized Asian-American in the 'Melting Pot'that is called the American society. This book is also his Personal Testimonial, which attests to the fact that the author has not ever personally experienced any blatant Racial Discrimination against him in all of his fifty-years of living in these United States, as a student and as a professional person, from Kalamazoo, Michigan to Houston, Texas, and from Walla Walla, Washington to Gaithersburg, Maryland. "Through the author's own personal story, he felt compelled to tell the world that there are many happy minority immigrants' stories, in contrast to many of the complaints and polarizing arguments about how minority groups are discriminated against and are deprived of the opportunity to improve their lot by the majority group in American society." It is true also that there exists one form or another of prejudices and discriminations in the American society. However, it is this author's conviction and experience that there are no insurmountable obstacles for minority immigrants to achieve their dreams and goals in this promised-land of ours, if one strives hard enough. It is also the belief of this author that in order to fully appreciate the opportunities and to make the most of those opportunities, one must be assimilated into American society completely and whole-heartedly without reservation. This does not mean to lose one's heritage completely, but rather to contribute to the unique qualities of each heritage to making of the 'Whole' in the true spirit of our nation, 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'.
