The Future of Nuclear Power takes a technical and comprehensive look at the current and future status of nuclear power throughout the world. The 17 chapters are divided into two main sections: a review of all current generation plants, and concepts for new advanced reactor design and safety.
The broad-ranging topics covered by this publication, coupled with the current revival of interest in nuclear energy, make it a timely reference for all nuclear scientists.
- Reviews the issues surrounding the future operation of existing commercial nuclear plants
- Several chapters dedicated to the extensive research programs in place concerning safe and reliable operation
- Compares nuclear and non-nuclear options for energy needs in the future; evaluating the benefits and risks of both
