Rezensionen
Winner of the CHOICE Award for Outstanding Academic Titles in 2014
'A well-written and engaging account of both the Fukushima accident and the current state of the global nuclear industry. Its analysis of safety issues is especially superb, as is its analysis of recent developments related to nuclear power and its rivals across the globe. The book is clearly must-reading for those wishing to better assess not only nuclear issues, but also global climate and energy policy.' - Benjamin K. Sovacool, Visiting Associate Professor, Vermont Law School, USA
