Nuclear Power and the Anti-Uranium Movement. A Modern Social Problem

摘要

The generation of electricity with nuclear power reactors is the cheapest, safest and cleanest means of power generation yet devised by man. It has been demonstrated to cause no more off-site nuclear radiation problems, and far less environmental damage, than the coal-fired electricity generating industry. With such a favourable situation it is reasonable to ask why, in the Western world, has a campaign been waged against uranium and the nuclear power industry. The author discusses what he believes is a well coordinated, international campaign which has been pursued through the media, and has been high-lighted by all the modern-day avenues open to protesters.
