Central Station Nuclear Reactors.

The article focuses on the major developments in the establishment of central station nuclear reactors in the U.S. that can achieve economies in the cost of capital equipment required in supporting the nuclear chain reaction. It provides detailed information on the different types of reactors being developed such as the pressurized water reactors, heavy water reactors, and the light water moderated super-heat reactors. Furthermore, a table is provided to differentiate the fixed capital charges, the operating costs, and the fuel cycle costs of each type of reactors.
