Over 1939-45, most developments were focused on the atomic bomb. From 1945 attention was given to harnessing this energy in a controlled fashion for naval propulsion and for making electricity. Since 1956 the prime focus has been on the technological evolution of reliable nuclear power plants. Russian nuclear physics predates the Bolshevik Revolution by more...
