Although advanced technologies are the cornerstone of modern life, few people understand how these technologies, such as robotics or nuclear science, actually work. Fewer still realize how - and how dramatically - technology influences our society and culture. Nuclear Technology is a reference guide that provides non-specialists with the most up-to-date information on seminal developments in nuclear technology, as well as covering the social, political, and technical impacts of those developments on everyday life, both now and in the future. Included are: a detailed history of nuclear technology's evolution; a discussion of civilian and military applications of nuclear technology; a chronology of major developments and discoveries; profiles of prominent scientists, politicians, popularizers, and institutions; explanations of key principles; a discussion of nuclear technology's major impacts and implications; an examination of major issues surrounding nuclear technology's use; predictions of future advances.
