    Eugene P. Wigner made instrumental advances in reactor physics, reactor design and technology, and spent nuclear fuel processing for both purposes of developing atomic weapons during world-war II and nuclear power afterwards. Wigner really came to nuclear energy through the Manhattan Project, where he could really use his talents of theorist, experimentalist and engineer. Not only his varied...

    The Visegrad-4 countries (CZ, HU, PL and SK) would like to use nuclear energy on the long run. The construction of new Generation 3+ nuclear units seems to be probable in each country belonging to this region. These reactors will provide safe and cheap electric energy approximately until the end of the 21st century. In order to use nuclear energy in the 22nd century, sustainability of fuel...

    Controlled thermonuclear fusion is considered as a promising source of energy for the second half of the century. It avoids the production of greenhouse gases and offers significant advantages in the nuclear safety area. However, its availability requires the success of an important programme of research before considering an industrial development. ITER, ‘the way” in latin, is a large...
