Footnotes. Illustrations. Acronyms. List of recent Council Special Reports at back. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Nuclear Energy: Balancing Benefits and Risks is a sobering and authoritative look at nuclear power. Dr. Ferguson argues that nuclear energy is unlikely to play a major role in the coming decades in strengthening energy security or in countering the harmful effects of climate change. In particular, the rapid rate of nuclear reactor expansion required to make even a modest reduction in global warming would drive up construction costs and create shortages in building materials, trained personnel, and safety controls. There are also lingering questions over nuclear waste, as well as continued political opposition to siting new plants. The report points out steps the United States could take-such as imposing a fee on greenhouse gas emissions-to level the economic playing field for all energy sectors, which over the long run would encourage the construction of new nuclear reactors and help reduce global warming. This is a fair and balanced report that brings the nuclear energy debate down from one of preferences to one of reality. This work is useful to anyone who wants to understand both the potential and the limits of nuclear power to enhance energy security and slow climate change. Charles D. Ferguson is President of the Federation of American Scientists and an Adjunct Professor in Georgetown University's Security Studies Program. Trained as a physicist and nuclear engineer, he has worked on nuclear policy issues at the U.S. Department of State and the Council on Foreign Relations. Fears of climate change-induced catastrophe have caused many to consider nuclear energy as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. There are increasing calls for U.S. nuclear energy policy to promote a major expansion of nuclear-generated electricity in the United States and abroad. Charles D. Ferguson argues that such thinking neglects the risks and costs of massive nuclear expansion. , New York, [PU: Council on Foreign Relations]<
