Is Nuclear Power the Answer? [Hardcover]

This book is designed to recalibrate the discussion on whether nuclear power is the best option for energy generation in the future. It emphasizes the significant differences in power generation between renewables, specifically photovoltaics and wind power and points out the advantages and disadvantages of both.

This book is designed to recalibrate the discussion on whether nuclear power is the best option for energy generation in the future. It emphasizes the significant differences in power generation between renewables, specifically photovoltaics and wind power, and points out the advantages and disadvantages of both. It also highlights the renewable experiment being emphasized in Australia and compares this approach with that adopted by the rest of the world. It is a vital addition to the discussion written by a scientist, engineer and mathematician with extensive global experience in industrial processes and engineering quality systems.
