Abstract

Costs and environmental concerns associated with fossil fuels have encouraged researchers and eco-friendly organizations to seek an alternative energy source that can help satisfy this rising energy demand in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The proposed work is driven by the need to harness the potential of a clean (nuclear) and inexhaustible renewable energy source, with enhanced reliability and resilience.
