| Summary |
In the twenty-first century, nuclear power has been identified as a viable alternative to traditional energy sources to stem global climate change, and condemned as risky to human health and environmentally irresponsible. Do the advantages of nuclear energy outweigh the risks, especially in light of the meltdown at Japan's Fukushima plant in 2011? This guide provides both a comprehensive overview of this critical and controversial technology, presenting reference tools that include important facts and statistics, biographical profiles, a chronology, and a glossary. The text covers major controversies and proposed solutions and contains contributions by experts and stakeholders that provide varying perspectives on the topic.--adapted from publisher's description |
