Description
This collection contains manuals published by the Nuclear Training Center of Westinghouse Electric Corporation on the thermodynamics
of nuclear power plants. These manuals were part of a training program provided by Westinghouse for the education of Southern
California Edison employees who presumably worked for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
Background

electric power industry. It also offers training programs and other educational services in the area of nuclear technology.
In the 1980s Southern California Edison employees who worked with nuclear electric power used the Westinghouse training manuals
in this collection. Southern California Edison operates one nuclear electric power plant, the San Onofre Nuclear Generating
Station (SONGS).
