Abstract

Nuclear power plants generate about 16 % of the world’s electricity, and there are over 440 commercial nuclear reactors operating in 30 countries, with another 65 reactors under construction [1]. Furthermore, in 2007, 104 nuclear power plants generated around 19 % of the electricity consumed in the United States [2]. Needless to say, nuclear power plants have become an important element in power generation throughout the world.
