Abstract
This chapter describes the basic processes of present and potential future nuclear power generation technologies. A brief outline of the historical development of nuclear power in the last century is first presented, followed by a short introduction to the nuclear physics needed to understand the fission process and the working principle of nuclear reactors. Later, the costs related to investments, operation, resources, storage and decommisioning of reactors are examined. Finally, a discussion on possible new nuclear technologies is provided at the end of this chapter.
