• Nuclear Steam Generators by John M. Dyke
  "Without prejudice - The information I have written in these pages is what I remember of events that happened between 1954 to 1980 and beyond, compiled in 2000 to date. Even so, memory is very fragile. If anyone challenges the validity of the information it will not be disputed.  It should be discussed by interested engineers to improve the facts, and analysed to arrive at better conclusions and improve the boiler designs.  It is written to help those who follow in the nuclear boiler design field"...John M. Dyke 9/2005
