Early Reactor Development in the United States -- Power Uprating of Light Water Reactors -- Advancement of Light Water Reactor Technology -- Light Water Reactor -- Passive Safety Light Water Reactors and Severe Accident Countermeasures -- Heavy Water Moderated Reactors: CANDU etc. -- Graphite Moderated Reactors -- Liquid Metal Cooled Fast Breeder Reactors and Fast Reactor Fuel Cycle -- Uranium Resources, Uranium Enrichment, Reprocessing and Plutonium-Utilization in LWRs -- Economic and Political Aspects of Plutonium Use -- Liquid Fuel Reactors, Molten Salt Reactors -- Organic Cooled Reactors -- Nuclear Reactors and Radioisotope Power Sources for Aerospace -- Generation III and Generation IV Nuclear Reactors -- Investment Risk Reduction and Power Generation Cost Reduction -- Concept of Supercritical Pressure Light Water Reactors -- Concept of Nuclear Fusion Reactors -- Concept of Fusion-Fission Hybrid Reactors -- University Nuclear Engineering Education -- Research and Development and Knowledge Base for Nuclear Utilization -- Summary and Discussion -- Exercise.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the history and development of power reactors worldwide, from their inception to the present day. It provides an in-depth analysis of light water reactors and their global technology, while also delving into the evolution of gas-cooled, heavy water, liquid metal-cooled, aerospace, and nuclear fusion reactors. By examining past advancements, this book equips readers with the insights necessary to apply lessons learned to future reactor development and utilization. Key concepts include the dominance of light water reactors in the global market, the progression of nuclear fuel cycle technologies, and the economic and political aspects of plutonium utilization. The book also addresses critical questions such as the potential depletion of uranium resources and the characteristics of Generation III and IV reactors. With contributions from government agencies and international organizations, this work is a must-read for those seeking a thorough understanding of nuclear reactor history and future challenges. Intended for graduate students, university faculty, researchers, industry professionals, and anyone with a keen interest in nuclear power, this book serves as a vital resource for understanding the complexities of nuclear reactor development and the broader implications for society. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
