Nuclear Reactor Technology has been a field of considerable interest and research in the United States and abroad during the previous three decades due to an increasing reliance upon nuclear power to meet the escalating global demand for electricity within both the developed and under-developed countries of the world. As would be the case for any high-risk industry, the commercial nuclear power industry as well as governmental regulators have placed a great deal of emphasis on reactor accident analysis and safety research.
