Description

How safe is nuclear power? Are there less risky energy alternatives? To what degree will nuclear power grow or decline? What forms will it take? Will We have it or not have it, by decision or by default? This publication does not resolve such questions. What does attempt to do is to offer citizens a reliable reading on the state of art pro and con arguments on controversial issues and a framework for thinking through their own answers. This book focuses on the form of nuclear power now in use in all operating nuclear power plants in the world: the generating of electricity from the steam heat created by nuclear fission. - from Amzon
