Abstract
There are a number of nuclear reactor types. It will be a purpose of this thesis to examine both a power
reactor and a research reactor to determine what inherent
measures, as well as applied measures, safety controls, and techniques are used in attempting to make nuclear reactor operations safe.
Whereas nuclear reactors are extremely expensive
and applicable to only a limited number of industries, radioisotopes,
the unstable form of various elements, offers
to a much larger industrial family a useful, inexpensive,
and simple tool. A second purpose of this thesis will be
to observe, describe, and evaluate the use and application
of radioisotopes as they are currently being employed in
industry, with particular reference to safety features.
