Description
About the Book
Nuclear energy, which developed in the mid-20th century, harnesses the powerful energy released during nuclear fission for electricity generation. It stands as a reliable, low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels, playing a crucial role in global energy production. Despite initial safety concerns, advancements in reactor technology and stringent regulatory oversight have significantly enhanced safety standards. Ongoing research aims to further improve waste management and explore advanced reactor designs, such as thorium-based reactors, known for their potential to produce safer and more efficient energy. Nuclear energy continues to be the basis in pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, providing a stable base-load power source essential for meeting increasing global energy demands while mitigating environmental impact. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of nuclear energy. Also included in this book is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of nuclear energy. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.Book Synopsis
