Your recommendation has been sent to your librarian.

We have now reached the end of this overview of a wide and complex subject. We hope that we have been able to throw some light on the technology and that the explanations may have lifted some of the veils of mystery that sometimes seem to obscure it. The fact remains that it is a complex matter and it is unwise to entrust the safety of a plant to people who do not understand either the control aspects or the plant operations. It has been the privilege of the three of us to have worked with power plant throughout our careers, and we hope that some of what we have put down here will be useful and that it may encourage others to take up a very interesting and important subject.
