Abstract
Reactor power plants can now be designed and operated so they present no greater danger to operating personnel than conventional power plants. They can also be shown to offer negligible danger to the surrounding geographical area. At present, the extremely conservative assumptions concerning the safety system necessitate a very complex design. As operating experience accumulates, it should be possible to simplify the design.
