Nuclear Reactor Systems : : A technical, historical and dynamic approach / / Bertrand Barré, Jean-Baptiste Thomas, Richarch Lenain, Pascal Anzieu.

The evolution of nuclear reactors since the 1942 Fermi experiment can be described along the lines of natural history, with an initial flourish of uninhibited creativity followed by a severe selection process leading to a handful of surviving species, with light water reactors occupying most of the...
