Double or Quits?
During the last decade, nuclear power has in many countries been 'the energy source that dares not speak its name'. It is now back on the agenda, but the debate remains highly emotive, and dispassionate information is difficult to find. This book, the culmination of a two-year study, provides an assessment of the major disputes surrounding the future role of this fuel. The issues covered include economics, nuclear safety, public perceptions and the process of decision-making, nuclear research and development, the sustainability of nuclear power in the context of the Kyoto Protocol, waste management, reprocessing and proliferation.
