About The Book

After World War II, electric power consumption in the United States increased at a rate of approximately 7% per year. To meet this demand, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) launched an ambitious program of constructing 17 large nuclear power stations, beginning with the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in 1966. The portion of the nuclear plants outside of the nuclear steam supply, referred to herein as the "balance of plant" (BOP) was designed by the TVA Division of Engineering Design (DED) in Knoxville, Tennessee. Rampant inflation approaching 15% annuall during the Carter administration, forced the cost of electric power to soar, and the demand for electric power dropped precipitously. At the same time, the disastrous accident at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in 1979 turned public opinion against nuclear power. TVA decided not to complete most of the nuclear plants that were under construction. However somewhat belatedly, a consensus may now be forming that nuclear power may be the only hope for society to achieve success against global warming, since it does not produce carbon dioxide. Realizing that at some point in the future nuclear power might becomes a feasible option again, TVA authorized the highly competent engineers in the DED to produce design guides documenting best engineering practices in designing the BOP of both boiling water and pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants for the benefit of future generations. These design guides reflect the practices employed in the design of the later plants that corrected the many flaws that experience revealed in the earlier designs. These design guides, largely unused for over 40 years, contain a vast amount of useful information. The author was privileged to work alongside the engineers who prepared these design guides for the mechanical discipline and herewith publishes them for the use of posterity. The design guides contained in this book are exact copies of those prepared, reviewed, and approved by TVA over 40 years ago. Quite obviously, some references to equipment manufacturers and codes and/or industry standards may be out of date. The information is made available to the general public at a nominal cost, and neither the publisher nor TVA assume any responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained herein.

About The Author

Bowman, Charles: - "Charles F. (Chuck) Bowman, P.E., is the retired President of Chuck Bowman Associates, Inc. (CBA), an engineering consulting firm serving the electric power industry since 1994. Chuck received his BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tennessee, and he is a registered Professional Engineer in Tennessee. CBA specialized in thermal performance analysis of electric power generating cycles and related fields including the design and analysis of heat exchangers, cooling towers, spray ponds, cooling water systems and more. Before forming CBA, Chuck was with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for 28 years where he supervised the engineering of cooling water systems for the nuclear plants. Prior to his retirement from TVA, he was the Senior Engineering Specialist for thermal performance and cooling water systems in TVA's Corporate Engineering Office. Chuck has served as a consultant to the Electric Power Research Institute, authoring Alternative to Thermal Performance Testing and/or Tube-Side Inspections of Air-to-Water Heat Exchangers; has served on ASME committees that authored PTC 23.1 - 1983, Code on Spray Cooling Systems, and on PTC 12.5 - 2000, Single Phase Heat Exchangers; and has served on the American Nuclear Society's ANS-2.21 Working Group, Criteria for Assessing Atmospheric Effects on the Ultimate Heat Sink. Chuck was a contributing editor on the Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers, 12th Edition. He is the principal author of Thermal Engineering of Nuclear Power Stations - Balance of Plant Systems and Engineering of Power Plant and Industrial Cooling Water Systems, both published by the CRC Press, and Engineering and Design of the Oriented Spray Cooling System. Chuck has also authored numerous technical papers."
