The Nuclear Fuel Cycle – Environmental Aspects, December 2006, Vol. 2, No. 6
$20.00
Increasing concerns for the effects of global warming that result from rising greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere have led to a reexamination, even enthusiasm, for nuclear power. Of all the current alternatives to fossil fuels, nuclear fission is the most important source of energy, accounting for 17 percent of the world’s electricity.
The Nuclear Fuel Cycle – Environmental Aspects
December 2006, Vol. 2, No. 6
Increasing concerns for the effects of global warming that result from rising greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere have led to a reexamination, even enthusiasm, for nuclear power. Of all the current alternatives to fossil fuels, nuclear fission is the most important source of energy, accounting for 17 percent of the world’s electricity. In the United States, and indeed worldwide, Generation IV reactors and an Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative are actively promoted, but major issues of nuclear waste management and disposal remain unanswered. This issue focuses on the impact of the nuclear fuel cycle on the environment, particularly in terms of the materials that may be part of the waste streams.
