The reader is guided through optimum design processes for PWRs, considering safety throughout. The authors then discuss thermal-hydraulic aspects within the PWR system as well as inside the reactor core, making this a valuable resource for nuclear and thermal engineers and researchers alike. Combining their wealth of experience, the author team present their in-depth knowledge of the advancement and improvement of fuel rods, gained from experience and lessons learned spanning many decades. The inclusion of analysis codes for the design and safety elements ensure makes this a unique reference which will provide the reader with a solid understanding which they can transfer to their own professional and research settings. Future prospects for next generation PWR and Small Modular Reactors are discussed, giving the reader a basis for further research of their own. Includes analysis codes such as RELAP5 for design and safety improvement Presents examples and case studies from Japan and other key regions such as the US and Europe to provide a deeper learning opportunity Written by experts from the leaders and pioneers in nuclear research at the Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineers and draws upon their combined wealth of knowledge and experience
