[PDF] Nuclear Power (IET Power and Energy) Janet Wood

The need to reduce carbon emissions has brought the debate over nuclear power to a head. Is it, as its detractors say, expensive, dangerous and inflexible? Or is it an opportunity to invest in a long term large-scale electricity source that will help win the battle against climate change? This book is an accessible primer on how nuclear power works, examining its costs and benefits as part of an electricity supply system, as well as the nuclear power industry’s operating record.Also available:Embedded Generation – ISBN 9780852967744Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) – ISBN 9780852967713The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world’s leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community.
