NUCLEAR
ENERGY
“Today
our foremost energy challenge is, to meet the increasing needs of people without
adding to our environment problems, namely, global warming and air pollution.”
This particular book ‘Nuclear Energy’ is a philosophical book. This book
explains clearly about the Nuclear Energy which can be substituted with fuel.
The UK environmentalist James Lovelock explains with ‘Gaia’ theory that the
Earth operates as a giant, self-regulating super organism, now it looks forward
Nuclear Energy as a key to our Planet’s future health. He also says that the
first World behaves like an addicted smoker, disturbed by short-term benefits.
“Civilization
is in Danger”, he warns. He also asks to use Nuclear-the one safe, available
energy source in this book. Otherwise we have to bear the pain which would soon
be inflicted by our outraged Planet. Inresponse to this, the Governments and Environmentalists
on every continent have begun to re-evaluate the benefits of Nuclear Power as a
clean, non-emitting energy source. Today Nuclear Power Plants operate in some
thirty Countries, and Nuclear Energy has become a safe and reliable source of
one sixth of World’s electricity. This book also clearly explains how the Nuclear
Power plants function, with illustrations. I enjoyed reading this book; I hope
you will also have some interest to go through this book.
