Abstract

Nuclear technology uses the energy released by splitting the atoms of certain elements. Nuclear power provides over 11% of the world's electricity as continuous, reliable base-load power, without carbon dioxide emissions. Today, the world produces as much electricity from nuclear energy as it did from all sources combined in the early years of nuclear power. Scientometrics is the quantitative study of the disciplines of science based on published literature and communication. This could include identifying the emerging areas of scientific research, examining the development of research over time, or geographic and organizational distributions of research. In the present study, the authors have done the scientometrics analysis of nuclear power generation research, a significant growing area in the knowledge-driven world. This study aims to measure the research productivity of nuclear power generation (NPG) in international and national level contributions of publication output.
