🔖 The Mechanical Science Handbook was developed to assist nuclear facility operatingcontractors in providing operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff with thenecessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of mechanical components andmechanical science. The handbook includes information on diesel engines, heat exchangers,pumps, valves, and miscellaneous mechanical components. This information will providepersonnel with a foundation for understanding the construction and operation of mechanicalcomponents that are associated with various DOE nuclear facility operations and maintenance.
