Due to often intense levels of radiation, many of the nuclear industry’s mechanical handling operations are conducted inside heavily shielded concrete structures, known as caves (UK) or canyons (USA). This chapter describes the equipment that is deployed in and around these inaccessible environments, from shielding windows, which allow operators to ...

Publisher Summary The aim of this chapter is to introduce mechanical engineering and its interrelationships to mechanical design. Defining mechanical engineering is in itself a challenge. Some people hold the opinion that it should not suffer the indignity of a definition, as this would invariably set boundaries on the activity.

Publisher Summary The driving agent of a heat engine is a temperature differential. A heat engine must have a source and a sink of heat. The heat source may be direct solar radiation, geothermal steam, geothermal water, ocean water heated by the sun, nuclear energy (fission, fusion, or radioactivity), or the combustion of a fuel.
