Nuclear Energy in the 21st Century

By Ian Hore-Lacy and Ian Horace-lacy

The increased use of technology, the size of the world population and the ease of travel and communication on a global scale make life's decisions regarding energy complicated. Many energy forms are not fully understood resulting in misdirected efforts. With the growing need for alternative sources of energy, the production and use of energy in all forms needs scientific understanding. The World Nuclear Association is a global organization that seeks to promote the peaceful worldwide use of nuclear power as a sustainable energy source. Nuclear Energy, first published by WNA, is a hands-on guide to nuclear energy. It provides the latest data and references for all those who must understand nuclear technology, its industry applications and associated issues including non-proliferation and safety aspects.
