ABSTRACT

In view of the seriousness of climate change issue, it has become necessary to do away with the fossil fuel based power generation in power sector in a phased manner which cater for base load. Alternatively nuclear power plants can take this responsibility.  However, they are fission based which has some problems, mainly safety aspects, radiation hazards, disposal of spent nuclear waste. This paper discusses these issues and also the futuristic fusion reaction based, nuclear power which is much safer process of using nuclear energy.
