Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"The rising demand for energy, the higher costs of oil and gas, and the association
of fossil fuels with adverse climate change have all brought a renewed interest in
nuclear energy. Nuclear power, however, is itself controversial, because of its costs,
its environmental effects and the security risks it poses. This book discusses these
critical issues surrounding nuclear power in relation to Asia. It discusses also the
politics of nuclear power and the activities of civil society organisations concerned
about nuclear issues. Throughout the book the perspectives are included of both proponents
and opponents of nuclear power on the key controversial issues."--Publisher's description
