Fast Reactors: A Solution to Fight Against Global Warming presents the current status of fast-reactor nuclear generation technology, with a focus on ecology and sustainability benefits for the future. Author Joel Guidez analyzes past failures and limited deployment reasons to help drive this power generation method forward to a cleaner and more sustainable energy environment. The book covers safety aspects, short-life waste management, multirecycling, and biodiversity preservation to provide a well-rounded reference on the topic.
- Analyzes reasons for past failures and presents the advantages of fast reactors
- Reviews the status of fast-reactor technology, for sodium fast reactors and molten salt reactors with liquid fuel
- Presents ways in which fast nuclear reactors can help fight climate change and promote sustainability for the future
Nuclear industry professionals, especially those in gen IV reactors; nuclear energy researchers; those concerned with the climate change and sustainability of power generation. Nuclear engineering students; energy policy professionals; government bodies
