Reference no: EM133198622 , Length: Word count: 1 Page

Problem 1: Writing in 1986 before the Chernobyl disaster, The Economist magazine offered the following advice to the then moribund industry:

"...get plenty of nuclear plants built, and then to accumulate year after year, a record of no deaths, no serious accidents-and no dispute that the result is cheaper energy."

Provide a careful analytical assessment.

Problem 2: Projection into the future question:

In this era of unchecked global climate change, what is the future of nuclear energy when global demand for energy will rise by 50 percent in global contexts?

Problem 3: Why is it has been so difficult to solve the nuclear waste disposal problem in the United States. (The rest of the world has not solved the problem satisfactorily either).
