Vor 5 Tagen · Nach anfänglicher Euphorie und großem gesellschaftlichen Konsens für die neue Technologie, kam in den 1970er Jahren die Anti-Atomkraft-Bewegung auf und die Kernenergie ist seitdem eine der gesellschaftlich umkämpftesten Industrietechnologien überhaupt.
Vor 2 Tagen · Nuclear power's share of global electricity production has fallen from 16.5% in 1997, in large part because the economics of nuclear power have become more difficult. As of March 2022, there are 439 civilian fission reactors in the world, with a combined electrical capacity of 392 gigawatt (GW).
Vor 5 Tagen · nuclear reactor, any of a class of devices that can initiate and control a self-sustaining series of nuclear fission s. Nuclear reactors are used as research tools, as systems for producing radioactive isotope s, and most prominently as energy sources for nuclear power plants.
Vor 4 Tagen · Generation I reactors have also been referred to as “early prototypic reactors.” The mid-1960s gave birth to Generation II designs, or “commercial power reactors.” Most nuclear power plants in operation today employ Generation II technology.
Vor 2 Tagen · In 2024, 440 nuclear power reactors operated in 32 countries, generating 10% of the world’s electricity. The US, China, France, Russia, and South Korea are the top generators. France leads in nuclear power usage (63%), followed by Slovakia, Hungary, Belgium, and Slovenia. Ukraine's nuclear operations were impacted by the 2022 Russian invasion, causing fluctuating reactor activity.
