Fundamentals : What is energy, and what is power? ; Is most energy that people use derived from nuclear energy? ; What is the origin of nuclear energy? ; What is "radioactivity"? ; Why is ionizing radiation a health concern? ; What is radioactive half-life, and how can knowing it help increase a country's security? ; How much more energetic is nuclear energy compared to chemical energy? ; Why has it been so difficult to commercialize nuclear fusion? ; How was nuclear fission discovered? ; What role, if any, did Albert Einstein play in the discovery of nuclear energy? ; What is a fission chain reaction? ; What is uranium, where did it come from, and how was it discovered? ; What is plutonium, how was it discovered, and how hazardous is it? ; Why can't nuclear reactors explode like a nuclear bomb? ; What is the nuclear fuel cycle? ; Why are certain activities in the nuclear fuel cycle called "dual use"? ; What are the various uranium-enrichment methods? ; What are the nuclear-proliferation concerns for uranium enrichment? ; What is the thorium fuel cycle? ; How does a nuclear reactor generate electricity? ; How many people's electricity demands can be supported with one large nuclear reactor? ; What are the different types of nuclear reactors used for electricity generation? ; Why were only a few types of reactor designs chosen for the present fleet of reactors? ; What are the Generation IV reactors, and why are they considered potentially revolutionary? ; What can nuclear reactors do besides generate electricity? -- 2. Energy security and costs of building power plants : What is energy security? ; Is energy independence feasible? ; Have countries ever been shut out of the nuclear-fuel market? ; Are European countries too dependent on Russian energy supplies? ; What role has nuclear energy played in reducing certain countries' dependence on fossil fuels? ; How could nuclear energy further reduce dependence on fossil fuels? ; What countries use commercial nuclear power, and how much electricity do they obtain from it? ; How many more countries are likely to acquire commercial nuclear power plants? ; How do the costs of nuclear plants compare to other types of power plants? ; How can nuclear power plants be made more cost-competitive? ; Why is it difficult for the supply chain to keep up with forecasts of demand for new nuclear plants? ; How many skilled people are required to build and operate nuclear plants? ; Can construction of nuclear power plants keep pace with the increasing demands for electricity? ; Will the world run out of uranium and, if so, when? ; Why have some countries pursued reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel for commercial purposes? ; Why did the United States decide to not pursue reprocessing, and will it revive this practice? --
要約、抄録、注釈等 Originally perceived as a cheap and plentiful source of power, the commercial use of nuclear energy has been controversial for decades. Worries about the dangers that nuclear plants and their radioactive waste posed to nearby communities grew over time, and plant construction in the United States virtually died after the early 1980s. The 1986 disaster at Chernobyl only reinforced nuclear power's negative image. Yet in the decade prior to the Japanese nuclear crisis of 2011, sentiment about nuclear power underwent a marked change. The alarming acceleration of global warming due to the burning of fossil fuels and concern about dependence on foreign fuel has led policymakers, climate scientists, and energy experts to look once again at nuclear power as a source of energy. In this overview, the author provides an account of the key facts about nuclear energy. What is the origin of nuclear energy? What countries use commercial nuclear power, and how much electricity do they obtain from it? How can future nuclear power plants be made safer? What can countries do to protect their nuclear facilities from military attacks? How hazardous is radioactive waste? Is nuclear energy a renewable energy source? Featuring a discussion of the recent nuclear crisis in Japan and its ramifications, he addresses these questions and more.
