Fundamental Issues Critical to the Success of Nuclear Projects (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Boucau, Joseph

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Fundamental Issues Critical to the Success of Nuclear Projects presents a complete analysis of the core considerations for those deploying nuclear power plants, managing existing plants, and also for those developing and building new plants. It includes critical considerations, such as cost-estimation, safety procedures, and regulatory compliance, manpower optimization and development, and the application of innovative technologies, such as the use of robotics. Those important issues have been addressed in a systematic way, and explanations have been provided on how the nuclear industry has continuously found solutions to mitigate and eventually solve them properly.

• Discusses innovative technologies being implemented in international nuclear plants to improve efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness in new, existing, and decommissioned nuclear power plants
• Provides guidance on difficult cost estimation for nuclear projects, as well as safety procedures, legislation, and regulatory compliance both inside and outside of the United States
• Considers the future of nuclear energy and analyses the challenges ahead for a sustainable nuclear energy future

Autorenporträt

Joseph Boucau received an engineering master's degree from the University of Mons (Belgium). He joined Westinghouse in 1981 in the nuclear safety engineering department with increased responsibilities. He then moved to marketing and customer project management with some large assignments and a wide spectrum of activities. He led a growth initiative for decommissioning and dismantling, which received some significant awards, and was recently appointed Vice President of Decommissioning and Dismantling Business Development with global oversight on decommissioning, decontamination, remediation, and waste management services.
