OECD - Nuclear Energy in Perspective
The OECD has released an informative nuclear energy summary, Nuclear Energy and Addressing Climate Change. The document is only 8 pages (with figures and tables), but it efficiently addresses the following questions:
Does nuclear power produce CO2 emissions?
To what extent is nuclear energy used now?
Can nuclear power capacity be expanded quickly?
Are supplies of nuclear fuel adequate?
What about safety, waste and proliferation concerns?
Thanks for the head's up Ed, a very useful summary document.
