Power plant water chemistry literature

[Drexl]

Hi,
I'm looking for comprehensive and modern literature on power plant water chemistry. Anyone have any suggestions?
What i'm looking for:
-History/evolution of water treatment
-Used treatment programs
-Used chemicals
-Description of mechanisms - stress corrosion cracking, FAC, pitting, erosion, depositions, etc
-Covering nuclear, conventional, HRSG, etc
-Materials

Tried to google it, but I either find very specific articles or general (non-power plant specific) description of corrosion phenomena.
I'd like to find ONE good book to start with

Start with the public papers at EPRI, you will find about 100+ that address your specific areas of concern.

I have a book by Betz that is decent. It is called "Handbook of Industrial Water Conditioning".

When I tried googling it led me to this site too

which I did not read through, but it looks like the topics it covers are good.
