The Economics and Uncertainties of Nuclear Power Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Is nuclear power a thing of the past or a technology for the future?

Has it become too expensive and dangerous, or is it still competitive and sufficiently safe?

Should emerging countries invest in it? Can we trust calculations of the probability of a major nuclear accident?

In the face of divergent claims and contradictory facts, this book provides an in-depth and balanced economic analysis of the main controversies surrounding nuclear power.

Without taking sides, it helps readers gain a better understanding of the uncertainties surrounding the costs, hazards, regulation and politics of nuclear power.

Written several years on from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011, this is an important resource for students, researchers, energy professionals and concerned citizens wanting to engage with the continuing debate on the future of nuclear power and its place in international energy policy.
