The RBMK used carbon as a neutron moderator, which allowed even un-enriched uranium to be used as nuclear fuel. Modern reactors use water (H2O or 2H2O) as moderator. ... This makes the RBMK design very unstable at low power levels, and prone to suddenly increasing energy production to a dangerous level.

As of September 2017, there are two new reactors under construction with a gross electrical capacity of 2,500 MW, while 34 reactors have been permanently shut down. The United States is the world's largest producer of commercial nuclear power, and in 2013 generated 33% of the world's nuclear electricity.

In March 2010, Areva indicated work was being done on a new type of burner reactor type capable of breaking down actinides created as a product of nuclear fission. In 2011, Areva was listed at the Euronext stock exchange in Paris.

Among some there is the unfounded fear that Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still radioactive; in reality, this is not true. Following a nuclear explosion, there are two forms of residual radioactivity. ... In fact, nearly all the induced radioactivity decayed within a few days of the explosions.

All nuclear power plants use nuclear fission, and most nuclear power plants use uranium atoms. During nuclear fission, a neutron collides with a uranium atom and splits it, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. More neutrons are also released when a uranium atom splits.

Thirty-three years ago, on April 26, 1986, a series of explosions destroyed Chernobyl's reactor No. 4, and several hundred staff and firefighters tackled a blaze that burned for 10 days and sent a plume of radiation around the world. More than 50 reactor and emergency workers were killed in the immediate aftermath.
