Monthly Review, 2011
Monthly Review has long been on record as opposed to the expansion of nuclear energy. Most recently, some of the dangers of nuclear power, both in its present form and with continuing new technological developments, were spelled out by Robert D. Furber, James C. Warf, and Sheldon C. Plotkin of the Southern California Federation of Scientists, in their

Reviews of Modern Physics, 1999
The earliest speculations about nuclear power—first, about nuclear fusion— followed soon after the publication of Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity. A story related by Edward Teller tells of the young George Gamow’s being offered, in 1929, the nightly use of the full electric power grid of Leningrad if he would undertake to create in the ...

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2017
In this paper, an online fault detection and classification method is proposed for thermocouples used in nuclear power plants. In the proposed method, the fault data are detected by the classification method, which classifies the fault data from the ...

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2011
The 104 nuclear plants operating in the US today are far safer than they were 20–30 years ago. For example, there's been about a 100‐fold reduction in the occurrence of “significant events” since the late 1970s. Although the youngest of currently operating US plants was designed in the 1970s, all have been significantly modified over the years.
