The Environmental Case for Nuclear Power : Economic, Medical, and Political Considerations
by Robert C. Morris.
Book Description
In the 20th Century, air pollution produced by the fossil fuels killed over five million Americans. It contributes to two of our worst environmental problems—acid rain and global warming. By contrast, Western-built nuclear power has not been responsible for even one death in the public sector. It’s increased use would lessen our trade deficit, and decrease acid rain and global warming. So, why aren’t we building nuclear power plants? Since 1974, anti-nuclear power activists have prevented the construction of nuclear power plants through the dissemination of fear and superstition. When the records of the fossil fuels and nuclear power are set straight, nuclear power is clearly superior. This is the opinion of almost one million scientists and medical doctors who have gone on record as favoring the use of nuclear power.
Commercial Nuclear Power: Assuring Safety for the Future
by Charles B. Ramsey, Mohammad Modarres.
Book Description
Describes the role that nuclear power could play as a viable option in meeting
future electrical energy needs. Describes nuclear plant operating practices and
the regulatory oversight process that assures safety. Addresses significant
accidental occurrences and describes how future accidents can be avoided through
the application of the latest methods for systematic analysis of accident
potential to derive the most effective accident prevention and accident
mitigation measures. Lessons learned and emerging trends in the industry.
Provides insights into the international demand and forecasts for electricity
production from available fuels.
Commercial Nuclear Power contains the results of worldwide scientific
studies, industrial site visits, and factual perspectives on the application of
industrial safety techniques and the maturity of scientific advances. Featuring
several case histories and numerous international examples, it offers
significant insights into regulatory, design, and operating practices in the
industry and will help facilitate better societal perceptions about the need for
nuclear facilities and the associated risks for humans and the environment.
Coverage includes:
- A forecast of the international demand for electricity and projection of
carbon emissions from conventional fuels
- Types of energy sources available to produce alternatives to large carbon
emissions that are accelerating global warming through the "greenhouse effect"
- Studies of past loss-prevention practices and accidental occurrences
- Lessons learned and emerging trends in the industry
- Insights on how to apply both the results of investigations of accidents in
facilities and the lessons others have learned through their mistakes in order
to prevent future disasters
CHARLES B. RAMSEY is a physical scientist with MS studies in special problems
in nuclear engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, and Reactor
Inspector certification for preoperational testing, startup, power operation,
and shutdown of nuclear power plants from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Technical Training Center. He serves as the Functional Program Manager for Fire
Protection and Nuclear Safety at the U.S. Department of Energy.
MOHAMMAD MODARRES is Professor of Nuclear Engineering and Reliability
Engineering, Director of the Center for Reliability Engineering, and Acting
Director of the Center for Technology Risk Studies at the University of
Maryland, College Park. He is a University of Maryland Distinguished
Scholar-Teacher and a fellow of the American Nuclear Society. He is the
cofounder and president of the International Functional Modeling and
Applications Association.
America the Powerless: Facing Our Nuclear Energy Dilemma
by Alan E. Waltar.
The Challenges to Nuclear Power in the Twenty-First Century
by Behram Kursunoglu (Editor), Stephan L. Mintz (Editor), Arnold Perlmutter.
Book Description
This volume is the proceedings of the Global Foundations
Inc.'s 22nd International Energy Forum, held November 5--6, 1999, and is
highlighted by presentations by nuclear experts from around the world, including
several officials of the US Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission. The papers address the need for nuclear energy in the new century;
the issues of competition with other energy sources; the position of nuclear
power in the context of critical global and environmental problems; the
necessity of commercial nuclear power development to deal with nuclear arms
proliferation; and the necessity to counter the prejudices and obstacles to the
development of nuclear energy sources.
