Abstract
Global energy production depends heavily on nuclear power reactors because they offer reliable low-carbon operation as opposed to conventional fossil fuels. The beginning period of nuclear reactors has transformed through enhanced reactor design mechanisms together with safety protocols and fuel optimization systems. This research investigates various types of nuclear reactors together with their operational principles and security protocols. The research presents strategies to manage nuclear waste and investigates economic aspects along with environmental effects of nuclear power utilization. The research evaluates future prospects of nuclear power by examining Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Generation IV reactor development. Nuclear power presents itself as an effective response to global power security requirements despite existing obstacles that increase risk levels for nuclear proliferation and create complications during radioactive waste handling.
