Provides a personal yet scientific comparative study of nuclear
energy and a spectrum of other energies from a reliability point of
view, as well as outlining guidelines for developing energy
policies The Fukushima nuclear accident made people ponder and
question nuclear safety again, resulting in national decisions to
phase out nuclear power completely. Is this the right decision? Are
there better ways to deal with this important issue of the 21st
century? Critical Reflections on Nuclear and Renewable Energy
examines both the real and unreal potential dangers of nuclear
power as well as a range of other energy sources, including coal,
oil, gas, and renewable energies like solar, hydro, wind, and wave
energy sources. The book analyzes the pros and cons of a spectrum
of energies in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident in March
2011. It maintains that we should look at nuclear energy from a
rational point of view instead of being influenced by emotions or
politicians arguments. The book also examines policies that concern
science and technology, energy resources, environmental protection,
and occupational safety, emphasizing the need to deepen the general
populace s understanding of the concept of reliability. Critical
Reflections on Nuclear and Renewable Energy provides both
perspective and detail on the relative merits and state of the
various energies and the real-life cost of new energies. The
analysis considers mining, emissions, sustainability, cost
implications, and energy security and safety. Through the
discussion of the real cost and impact on environment of individual
sources, this book provides a valuable insight into prospects for
future energy development. Readership The book is for the general
public, government officials responsible for drafting energy
policies, as well as engineering professionals working in the
energy sector. It will also be a helpful source for academics in
related disciplines.
