Chapter 13 NUCLEAR FISSION
Chapter 13 NUCLEAR FISSIONN uclear power can cleanly and safely meet a substantial portion of the additional base-loadelectricity generation capacity the United States will require by 2030 if (1) the operatinglifetimes of existing NUCLEAR plants are extended (where this can be done safely withappropriate Federal oversight and technical support), and (2) utility executives once againconsider the NUCLEAR option technically, politically, and economically feasible when newcapacity is planned.(National Energy Strategy, Executive Summary, 1991/1992)The Administration's policy is to maintain the safe operation of existing NUCLEAR plants inthe United States and abroad and to preserve the option to construct the next generation ofnuclear energy plants.
constant quantity of heat. This heat can be dissipated easily (see below) and the temperature of the material can be maintained below its melting point. This self-sustained chain reaction is illustrated in Figure 13-4. A self-sustained chain reaction is achieved by the use of a material that is capable of absorbing neutrons.
