The use of nuclear reactions that generate heat by releasing nuclear energy is known as nuclear power. This heat is often used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear fusion and nuclear decay reactions. The nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium is responsible for producing the majority of electricity from nuclear power. The processes of nuclear decay are used in various applications such as radioisotope thermoelectric generators, medical imaging devices, etc. Nuclear power is considered to be one of the cleanest sources of energy in the world and has the lowest level of fatalities per unit of energy generated compared to other energy sources. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to nuclear power. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied types of nuclear plants that fall under this category. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
