Nuclear Energy Today
Author: OECD Nuclear Energy AgencyPublisher: OECD
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
As energy demand increases in line with the expansion of the world's leading economies and the growth of developing economies, a key challenge remains of how to provide the energy levels required while protecting our environment and conserving natural resources. Nuclear energy is a complex and controversial technology but also has the potential to provide considerable benefits. This publication explores a range of issues involved in the use of nuclear energy, including safety aspects, whether its use is economically competitive, its role in meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets, how to manage the radioactive waste it generates, whether its use increase the risk of proliferation of nuclear weapons, security of resources, and its potential role in the future.

Book Description
In general, national energy policies seek to ensure the availability of secure and economic supplies with minimal environmental impact. The means of achieving security and competitiveness in the supply of electricity differ between countries; whilst some governments allow competitive markets, others maintain ownership and apply strict economic regulation. This publication considers the roles and responsibilities of governments in relation to nuclear energy, within the context of broad national policy goals.
