The UKAEA's role in the future of nuclear power
Description
The article on how the UKAEA sees its role in the future was first presented at the conference on 'The future of nuclear power after Sizewell B', held in London, 1987. A description is given of the context within which the UKAEA works. To meet its objectives and the needs of its customers, the authority plans to extend its studies along three main lines of development. The first is the development of future nuclear energy systems, including the fast reactor and fusion. The second is the support of the current United Kingdom nuclear technology, which includes work on:-magnox reactors, advanced gas cooled reactors, fuel cycle research, waste disposal and decommissioning. The third is on underpinning research and cross-fertilisation. (UK)
