Developmental Consequences of Atomic Power Plant Generations

Abstract

Several decades have passed since the appearance of the first atomic power plants. Safe regulation an utilization of the nuclear chain-reaction has become by now an everyday task, due to the decades-long operational experience of different types of atomic power plants, The most important aspects of differences among the types of atomic power plants are to be presented in this thesis, along with the technological changes and developments of these past decades (hence the expression "generations of atomic power plants" has been used validly) and the nuclear energy sources of the future will be touched upon as well. Eventually a consequence may be drawn, based on the conditions and correlations of all the above, that there are a lot of developmental possibilities and new periods to come in the future for power plants using nuclear energydue to the fact that technological advancement will continuously provide options for humanity and its scientists to improve and realize the potentials hidden in this resource.
