Summary:
In a refreshingly light and conversational style, A Case for
Nuclear-Generated Electricity provides a unique context for
understanding the use of energy in our society and the positive role
nuclear power can play in enabling our modern civilization. We need
energy to power the technology that supports human civilization.
However, continued reliance on coal, oil and natural gas and hoping
that green alternatives will magically save the day are by themselves
unrealistic long-term solutions. This book advocates the use of
nuclear energy for producing electricity. It speaks to the average
American by addressing the current cultural bias against all
technology and specifically nuclear technology. It shows technology,
energy, and nuclear power in an enlightening context and examines our
present energy use and future options. Heaberlin describes, for the
layperson, nuclear science and power reactor engineering to demystify
nuclear energy and directly address the key aspects of the public's
fears regarding nuclear power and radioactive waste. He discusses the
current status of nuclear power and its potential future. His key
message is that it is important to allow nuclear energy to play a
role in the progress of the human species.
