Abstract

This chapter begins with a brief history of nuclear energy generation and worldwide statistics along with current status in India. India has undertaken the nuclear power program. As a part of third stage of nuclear power program, the Advanced Heavy Water Reactor is designed in India. The overview of this neutronically large nuclear reactor is presented by emphasizing the need of spatial control. The chapter ends with a review of spatial control techniques applied to large nuclear reactors.
