RE – BORNING NUCLEAR

Öz

The idea of ​​a nuclear power plant was introduced to the world agenda with the slogan of "Atoms for Peace" in the United Nations in 1953, by the US President Eisenhower, right after the effects of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, which led to the end of the Second World War in 1945. There are currently 494 nuclear power plants in the world, including those with ongoing construction. Since the process that started in the 1950s, I., II. III and III+ generation reactors operate in 38 countries. The fact that these power plants have been constructed in developed or developing countries is an indication of high technology. Each generation is built with safer and higher technologies, considering the problems experienced by the previous generations. Countries with nuclear technologies are in a completion to have a say in this issue by producing their own reactor types. For example, CANDU is a Canadian type of nuclear power plant powered by the pressurized heavy water designed in the 1960s. VVER is a Russian made water-cooled pressurized water reactor series. Although many types of reactors meet more than 10 percent of the world's energy need, it will be possible to increase this rate with the reactors whose constructions are completed.
