From the Publisher:
This timely book offers insights into the benefits of nuclear power as well as the technological and environmental challenges facing the nuclear industry. Containing the results of worldwide scientific studies and industrial site visits, the book represents a timely focus on the applications of commercial nuclear power, the potential benefits to be gained from contained nuclear use, the environmental risks of nuclear power, and the prevention of nuclear accidents.
From the Back Cover:
In response to several industrial incidents such as the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, worldwide attention has generated common concerns and intense debate on the subject of human and environmental risks posed by the nuclear industry. This timely book addresses the mass concern over the adequacy of industrial safety practices and offers a sensible and objective discussion of industrial issues without attacking or fingerpointing at any technology or individual.

Commercial Nuclear Power contains the results of worldwide scientific studies, industrial site visits, and factual perspectives on the application of industrial safety techniques and the maturity of scientific advances. Featuring several case histories and numerous international examples, it offers significant insights into regulatory, design, and operating practices in the industry and will help facilitate better societal perceptions about the need for nuclear facilities and the associated risks for humans and the environment.

Coverage includes:

  • A forecast of the international demand for electricity and projection of carbon emissions from conventional fuels
  • Types of energy sources available to produce alternatives to large carbon emissions that are accelerating global warming through the "greenhouse effect"
  • Studies of past loss-prevention practices and accidental occurrences
  • Lessons learned and emerging trends in the industry
  • Insights on how to apply both the results of investigations of accidents in facilities and the lessons others have learned through their mistakes in order to prevent future disasters
