Nuclear ''decay'' processes are used in niche applications such as radioisotope thermoelectric generators in some space probes such as ''Voyager 2''. Generating electricity from fusion power, ''fusion'' power remains the focus of international research. Most nuclear power plants use thermal reactors with enriched uranium in a Nuclear fuel cycle#Once-through nuclear fuel cycle, once-through fuel cycle.

History The Flamman group, an orthodox pro-Soviet section within Left Party – The Communists (''Vänsterpartiet Kommunisterna''), emerged as an internal fraction when C.-H.

Hagel was defeated by Lars Werner with 162 votes agains ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
