Most Comprehensive Report on U.S. Nuclear Power Plants is Now Available

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c85886) has announced the addition of "U.S. Nuclear Power Plants 2008" to their offering.

Nuclear power is a type of nuclear technology involving the controlled use of nuclear reactions, usually nuclear fission, to release energy for work including propulsion, heat, and the generation of electricity. Nuclear energy is produced by a controlled nuclear chain reaction and creates heat - which is used to boil water, produce steam, and drive a steam turbine.


The most significant use of nuclear reactors is as an energy source for the generation of electrical power and for the power in some ships. This is usually accomplished by methods that involve using heat from the nuclear reaction to power steam turbines.


Analysis of the Major Nuclear Power Plants in the United States takes a view of the overall nuclear power industry worldwide, with an analysis of the basics of nuclear power, and an overview of the nuclear power industry in the United States. The report focuses on the major nuclear power plants in the U.S. over 75 plants are focused upon in this report.
