DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f030d1/analyzing_small_nu) has announced the addition of the "Analyzing Small Nuclear Power Reactors" report to their offering.
The global energy jigsaw is constantly and increasingly being rearranged with the nuclear power supply. Nuclear power is increasingly presenting an alternative to become the mainstay of energy needs for the new society till the time developments are further underway for cleaner energy sources. The harnessing of this energy would not have been possible without the inventing effort of Le Szilrd in 1933. This was further presented in application in the Chicago Pile 1 which went critical on Dec 2, 1942. Thereby the first nuclear reactor was born. Therefore as a train cannot be in motion without its engine, nuclear energy needs reactor technology to constant progress in order to achieve global energy needs.
Historically, it was a general opinion that the bigger a reactor the better the energy yield. Though, the thumb rule remains in effect the changing geo political forces have ensured that new qualifiers be added to this equation as efficiency, adaptability, control and scalability. This has led the scientific community to pursue a different direction of whether small can also be beautiful and as efficient as the big one? Thereby is it possible to answer this question by more small reactors geographically spread in a grid rather than depending on a big one with bigger environmental concerns as also allowing independent mobile application.
Aruvians Rsearchs report on Analyzing Small Nuclear Power Reactors is a detailed observation on this industry which is aimed at assisting investors, analysts and commercial interests gain insights for decision making. In a world driven by science and technology where the buzzword is Nano, it is imperative to understand the full potential of applying the same to Nuclear reactors in relation to their present sizes. The future of the planet is riding on what steps are taken by the present generation and thereby places a responsibility on humanity to achieve solutions for needs in consonance with the planet.
