Reframing nuclear power in the UK energy debate: nuclear power, climate change mitigation and radioactive waste.
In the past decade, human influence on the climate through increased use of fossil fuels has become widely acknowledged as one of the most pressing issues for the global community. For the United Kingdom, we suggest that these concerns have increasingly become manifest in a new strand of political debate around energy policy, which reframes nuclear power as part of the solution to the need for ...

متن کاملThe Civil Nuclear Power Revival and Nuclear Proliferation
The history of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) demonstrate that peaceful nuclear energy is a myth. As our January 2007 Briefing, “Civil Nuclear Power and Nuclear Weapons Proliferation”, explains promoting ‘peaceful’ nuclear power has accelerated nuclear weapons proliferation. Nuclear reactors in India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Kore...
متن کاملData Trimming, Nuclear Emissions, and Climate Change
Ethics requires good science. Many scientists, government leaders, and industry representatives support tripling of global-nuclear-energy capacity on the grounds that nuclear fission is "carbon free" and "releases no greenhouse gases." However, such claims are scientifically questionable (and thus likely to lead to ethically questionable energy choices) for at least 3 reasons. (i) They rely on ...
