Rethinking nuclear power

Autopsy of an illusion

Beschreibung

Educational as much as corrosive, this book raises the problem of the validity of the human achievement: Nuclear Energy. By showing the flaws and weaknesses in the current technology applications and the incomplete knowledge of science today, it takes stock of the perilous situation in Japan four years after the disaster of Fukushima: the extent of radioactive contamination in areas close to the plant and also its inevitable progression, the difficulties of decontamination, and the difficult dismantling ¿ constantly slowed ¿ of the hearts of the reactors, the storage of the radioactive waste: all poorly mastered technical challenges diving into the unknown. Thereby, this book offers the basics needed for a global debate, including both the Public and the Intelligentsia, as well as Policymakers.
