Abstract
Chapter 8 develops each of the mechanisms (systems) discussed in Chap. 6 that form the plant and explains the thinking behind and method of building the specifications and layout of the structures (components) that comprise each subsystem within the constraints discussed in Chaps. 4 and 5. Design samples of the different subsystems introduced in Chap. 6, such as the reactor structure and cooling system, are also discussed together with their background and rationale.
