Focusing on advanced nuclear technology, this book delves into the High Performance Light Water Reactor (HPLWR), which operates under supercritical steam conditions. It details the innovative design approach that allows water to function as both a moderator and coolant at supercritical pressure. The text outlines the multi-step heating process in the core to achieve high steam temperatures while adhering to safety standards. Additionally, it explores the design of fuel assembly clusters and reactor components, validated through comprehensive stress and thermal analyses.
