This paper summarizes some of the major safety issues and proposed and developed solutions to real and perceived problems. Safety of the public, operating personnel, facilities and the environment has always been a driving concern of the public, government agencies, system designers and users of nuclear power and propulsion systems.

    Nuclear safety has been an evolving science as increased knowledge has accumulated over the past 50 years of manmade nuclear reactor existence. This historical paper will try to provide some perspective to that evolution.
