Povzetek/Abstract:

The programme describes how a reactor works and examines the different reactor

designs including Magnox, AGR (Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor), RBMK (the

Russian Chernobyl-type reactor which is being phased out), and PWR (Pressurized

Water Reactor). It stresses that the use of uranium, which has no other important

commercial use, leaves more of the irreplacable fossil fuels for transportation and

as raw material for making chemicals and fertilizers and provides a potential as a

cheap and safe supplier of energy.
