Uranium and plutonium oxide fuels have good fission product retention characteristics. 4 Reactor Power Production In the twentieth century, Generation II and III reactors dominated power production. About one-third of the operating reactors are boiling water reactors (BWRs) and two-thirds are pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The discussion in this section is based on PWR terminology. Specific BWR terminology is outlined in the subsequent discussion. Reactor power production creates a variety of fission and activation products.

The advancement of nuclear medicine techniques increased the average absorbed dose delivered to the public. An increased use of nuclear materials in commercial products and their inadvertent entry into scrap metal used in consumer products offer additional challenges. Public concerns regarding the use of nuclear power generation and the effects of major accidents have been heightened by the Fukushima Daiichi accident and its sensationalism by the media and antinuclear groups. Public interest and the involvement of stakeholder groups in nuclear licensing have also increased following the Fukushima Daiichi accident.
