Nuclear power offers an abundant energy supply for the long term
and at reasonable costs. Both are badly needed in this world of
limited energy reserves and rising energy prices. On the other
hand, there are questions widely discussed in the public on nuclear
safety, on acceptable means of nuclear waste disposal, and concern
on the proliferation of nuclear weapon capabilities. Public confu
sion is widespread since facts are often overshadowed by emotions.
Recognizing the need for reliable, factual and comprehensive
information on nuclear energy, this book on Nuclear Fission
Reactors is published .to present the scientific and technical
facts of nuclear fission reactors, and to analyse their potential
role and risks. The author, Professor Dr. G. Kessler, has worked in
nuclear research and project management since 1963. From 1975 to
1978, he acted as project leader for the German/Belgian/Dutch Fast
Breeder research and. development activi ties. Since then, he has
been Director of the Institute of Neutron Physics and Reactor
Technology in the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Centre. The book is
part of the series "Topics in Energy" issued by Springer Publish
ers. The intention of this series of in-depth analyses is to
present the facts, inherent problems, trends and prospects of
energy demand, resources and tech nologies. The vital importance of
energy for human activities has become apparent to the public
particularly through dramatic events in the area of oil supply."
