Will I love Nuclear Power Reactors Worldwide – Technology Developments, Diffusion Patterns, and Country-by-Country Analysis of Implementation (1951–2017)?

This engaging book documents the diffusion of nuclear power from both technological and national perspectives. Its working hypothesis is that nuclear power is the result of both the development of nuclear weapons and the development of peaceful uses of the technology in generating electricity and producing medical radioisotopes. Because of this dual use, the authors believe that its development did not follow an economic logic.

Rather than explaining economic motivations, it analyzes the patterns of nuclear power diffusion from its origins to the emergence of advanced nuclear, so-called fourth-generation technologies and small modular reactors. There were disruptions in this diffusion:… show more.
