Nuclear Power Development, [.]. As of November 2003, there were 440 operating nuclear power reactors in the world, with a combined net generating capacity of 360 gigawatts-electric (GWe) [.].. Summary data on these reactors are presented in Table 2.1, which lists for each country the total nuclear generation and nuclear power’s fraction of the total electricity generation.

Policy Issues in Nuclear Waste Disposal,aste has sometimes been called the Achilles’ heel of the nuclear power industry” [1, CRS-1]. It is a critical point of vulnerability for nuclear power, because without an acceptable solution for waste disposal, it appears irresponsible to continue the further use of nuclear power.

Nuclear Reactor Safety, conclusion follows if one limits consideration to plants outside the former Soviet Union (FSU). The latter conclusion follows if one focuses on the Chernobyl accident and takes it as a broadly applicable indicator.

Nuclear Reactor Accidents,Despite the largely successful precautions taken to avoid nuclear reactor accidents, the record is not perfect. We list here the more important known reactor accidents, excluding accidents in submarine reactors and possible accidents in the former USSR and Soviet Bloc countries, other than the Chernobyl accident.
