Based on the author's fifteen years of experience, it describes the underlying ``physics'' and simulation of the principal components of an electrical power plant, focusing primarily on certain types of nuclear steam generators. Unique in its encapsulation of physical data, operational control problems and relevant applied mathematics, it provides qualitative descriptions of major electrical power plant systems. In addition, comprehensive flow charts for digital computer programs are used to illustrate the techniques presented.
