Review: The author, Steve Kidd, Director of Strategy and Research at the World Nuclear Energy Association, analyses the challenges currently facing the nuclear power industry in terms of political, commercial, environmental, logistical and technological issues. The six chapters each cover an important issue: the experience of nuclear power around the world; building nuclear plants with good economic credentials; gaining public approval; the demand for nuclear fuel; the restrictions on knowledge transfer and trade in nuclear commerce; and nuclear power viewed in the context of wider world energy developments.
