Nuclear power and physics

摘要: 20世纪三四十年代，原子物理学家们发现中子轰击铀原子核的裂变现象并首次实现可控裂变链式反应，把世界带进了原子能时代.半个世纪以来核电已达到全世界电力的16%.目前99%以上都是热中子反应堆核电站.在大规模发展核电的情况下，比如说百GWe，必须加快快中子增殖反应堆的发展和推广，方无核燃料匮乏之虞.

Abstract: During the 30s and 40s of the last century atomic physicists discovered the fission of uranium nuclei bombarded by neutrons and realized the first self-sustaining controlled fission chain reaction, which ushered in the atomic age. After 50 years of electricity production, in 2003nuclear power plants were generating 16% of the total electricity in the world. Of these, thermal neutron reactors make up over 99%. For the large scale production of nuclear power , say up to hundreds of GWe, it is very important to speed up the development and deployment of fast breeder reactors to avoid the future lack of uranium resources.
