About This Item
US: 9789814322751, 2011. Hardback. Good. This book provides a concise but rigorous appraisal about the future of nuc lear power and the presumed nuclear renaissance. It does so by assessing th e technical, economic, environmental, political, and social risks related t o all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle, from uranium mills and mines to nu clear reactors and spent fuel storage facilities. In each case, the book ar gues that the costs of nuclear power significantly outweigh its benefits. I t concludes by calling for investments in renewable energy and energy effic iency as a better path towards an affordable, secure, and socially acceptab le future.The prospect of a global nuclear renaissance could change the way that energy is produced and used the world over. Sovacool takes a hard loo k at who would benefit - mostly energy companies and manufacturers - and wh o would suffer - mostly taxpayers, those living near nuclear facilities, an d electricity customers. This book is a must-read for anyone even remotely concerned about a sustainable energy future, and also for those with a spec ific interest in modern nuclear power plants.
