Nuclear Reactors: Generation to Generation
fuel cycle. We also outline the evolution of nuclear reactor generations and describe current and possible future reactor proposals in light of these six key factors. In our opinion, incorporation of passive safety features and implemen-tation of dry cask storage for used fuel reasonably address future safety and waste concerns.
