Putting a Spin on It

Abstract

Back in Chap. 7, I guided you through taking your PWR critical and raising power up to a few percent of full power. You’ll understand that the steam that your reactor is now producing is being ‘dumped’; you’re not doing anything useful with it… yet. In this chapter, you’re going to drive your reactor a bit harder and start generating electricity.
