Download or read book From First Concrete to Full Power: Stories of Civil Engineering within the Canadian Nuclear Power Program written by G. J. Kurt Asmis and published by Kurt Asmis. This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on lectures I presented to staff of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission in the fall of 2022. My hope is that this book is of value to civil engineers working in the field of nuclear energy. I make specific reference to structural, geotechnical and environmental issues that were part of my civil engineering career at the AECB/CNSC and my international consulting work in nuclear security. It is my aim to bring forward lessons learned that have relevance today, for the existing nuclear fleet, and lessons learned that will assist in the licensing of new facilities when these materialize.
