Abstract

Energy is indispensable for social and economic development and is vital for improving human welfare and quality of life. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, have been major sources of energy over the past two centuries. However, fossil fuel reserves are limited and nonrenewable, so they will have difficulty meeting society’s energy demands. Furthermore, the combustion of fossil fuels leads to environmental pollution. Nuclear energy is considered to be a clean energy source that could replace fossil energy on a large scale and has become an important component of global energy.
