Nuclear Power Plant Safety and Mechanical Integrity: Design and Operability of Mechanical Systems, Equipment and Supporting Structures, Second Edition explains how to navigate the various maintenance codes, standards and regulations for the nuclear power industry. Sections update on operating procedures, fatigue damage, corrosion, accidental over-pressure, design-based accidents, and much more. George Antaki and Ramiz Gilda provide expert guidance and a combined 40+ years of experience in the field of nuclear power plant safety, also addressing lessons learned from Fukushima in 2011 and the resulting protection systems implemented.

This thoroughly updated resource will be particularly valuable to both new and experienced nuclear engineers, maintenance supervisors, nuclear safety researchers and professionals, and all those invested in keeping abreast of the latest industry best practices.
