Reports of DEC's death "greatly exaggerated"
30 November, 2001
Efficiencies of over 80% are theoretically possible for nuclear electric power generation, but only by using direct energy conversion (DEC) techniques. Work on such techniques was generally abandoned in the 1960s, because technological limitations prevented practical application of DEC. Recent developments indicate that these obstacles can now be overcome. By Denis E Beller, Gary F Polansky, Samim Anghaie, Gottfried Besenbruch and Theodore A Parish
