Nuclear engineering

“Atomic power” depends upon the possibility of producing a chain reaction, analogous to that of burning, which will be self-sustaining. Only when the fission of uranium was discovered did nuclear energy become of engineering concern. This is the fourth in a series of articles developed by the AIEE nucleonics committee.
