DESCRIPTION:
Long misunderstood and irrationally feared because of antiquated beliefs by the general public, modern nuclear power generation is safer, cleaner, and essential for solving the future energy shortfall. From the Back CoverIn this well documented global wake-up call, nuclear physicist Jeff Eerkens explores remedies for the impending energy crisis, when oil and natural gas are depleted. . Because it takes ten to twenty years to design, test, and build new synfuel-producing reactors and new engines powered by new synfuels, actio
"How the world can run on nuclear energy for 90% of its primary energy" according to Chad M. Looking head-on at oil depletion combined with soaring coal use, and the inevitable economic need for advanced nuclear energy, Dr. Eerkens provides a technological-literary masterpiece. One of the special qualities of "The Nuclear Imperative" is the combination of readable, accessible material, ample graphs and charts, along with a debate-worthy writing style. Instead of just advocating for a certain reform or new energy program and
This book demonstrates that solar, wind and biomass power alone, while helpful, are incapable of supplying and sustaining the enormous quantities of electricity and heat needed for manufacturing portable synthetic fuels to replace current use of fossil fuels.
