Neutron and nuclear power

Description

History of neutron discovery and its role in the world nuclear power engineering development are considered. Factors promoting the growth of the specific weight of electric power generated by NPPs and the problems slowing the nuclear power development are under discussion. Data on the state and prospects of nuclear power development in the USSR are presented. Solar and geothermal plants are considered as alternative power soUrces. It is noted that in 1982 in 24 countries more than 260 NPPs were exploited, which generated about 8% of the world electric power. A part of electric power generated by NPPs will achieve 30-40% by 2000. A conclusion is drawn that nuclear energy exceeds all previously used energy sources by its capabilities
