The Promise and Perils of Nuclear Energy
In some ways, nuclear power has never looked better — or worse. In an age of climate change and growing energy demands, the world needs low-carbon fuel sources, and nuclear delivers electricity without the greenhouse gas emissions of fossil fuels. Can nuclear power be considered a form of “green” energy? In the wake of Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl, can it be reliable and safe?
Journalists who cover energy, business, health, and the environment are invited to this workshop covering the risks and benefits of nuclear energy for health care, research, and power generation.
