About the Book:

Nuclear Power Plant Safety, Reliability, Human Factors, and Human Error by B. S. Dhillon provides a comprehensive exploration of the critical aspects involved in nuclear power generation systems. With billions of dollars spent annually on the design, construction, manufacture, operation, and maintenance of nuclear systems worldwide, the book addresses the pressing issues of safety, reliability, human factors, and human error—factors that often contribute to system failures in nuclear power plants.

The primary objective of this book is to integrate key areas such as nuclear power plant safety, reliability engineering, human factors, and human error into a single, accessible volume. This approach eliminates the need for professionals to consult multiple, diverse sources for information. Whether you work in the design phase of nuclear power plants or are involved in other stages, this book offers invaluable insights and provides a consolidated reference for better understanding and addressing safety and operational challenges.

By combining these essential aspects into one resource, Dhillon aims to enhance the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants, making it an essential read for engineers, safety professionals, and anyone involved in the nuclear power sector.
