Energia nuclear

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the nuclear reactor and the nuclear plant pointing out how these are important to new vessels. Willing to understand the qualities of this power we need to know a little bit about the history and its creation, the process of the reactor and how it transforms nuclear power into electrical and its advantages over other energies. The focus of this work will be the reactor itself, the nuclear plant, submarine, aircraft carrier and surface ships that use this kind of power, some accidents and the problem with the radioactive trash. The nuclear power is not available in the merchant marine in this abstract we will see that the electrical propulsion has its disadvantages both in space to storage and consume of fuel. We don’t know it why this power is not used now days. Could be that the use of this power frightens the population, but this fear is due to the preconception that this energy can only be used to create nuclear bombs, other point could be that the big companies that provide fuel would stop its production and stop selling and even going bankrupt, so the pressure made by these industries get in the way of development of the nuclear energy in merchant vessels
