Question
The earliest nuclear fission reactors required the action of an operator to shut down safely in the event of a problem. Today, scientists have designed passively safe nuclear plants that do not require human intervention to shut down safely. Which of the following best describes why the design of fission reactors has changed?
A.
The scientists that developed the first nuclear power plants did not care about safety.
B.
The scientists that design modern nuclear reactors do not look at earlier designs.
C.
Scientists have applied what they learned from early nuclear plants to create better designs.
D.
Scientists working on the first nuclear power plants did not know how nuclear fission worked.
