첨단 원자력 에너지란 무엇인가 - 기본 사항 (What is Advanced Nuclear Energy – Basics)
본 보고서는 원자력 에너지에 대한 기초 지식을 설명하고 있습니다.
Advanced nuclear energy represents a spectrum of new talent, technologies, applications, and business models designed around the use of atomic energy generated by nuclear power plants.
When an atom is split (nuclear fission) or fused (nuclear fusion) with another atom, energy is released in the form of heat. A nuclear power plant harnesses this heat within a reactor and converts it into steam, which can be used for different applications. Most power plants use this steam to turn turbines that generate electricity. Some power plants directly pipe the steam to homes or businesses for heating purposes. A significant benefit of this process is that it releases no carbon emissions.
