Section 6 – Nuclear Plant Systems
Overview
• Nuclear Power testing began in 1934 in Germany and 1942 in the US
• Nuclear Power Generation began in 1956 in England
• Nuclear Power generates about 20% of the electricity in the US
• Nuclear Power generates heat through fission of uranium and decay of fission products
• Nuclear renaissance has started
