@article{Sovacool2010ACE, title={A Critical Evaluation of Nuclear Power and Renewable Electricity in Asia}, author={Benjamin Sovacool}, journal={Journal of Contemporary Asia}, year={2010}, volume={40}, pages={369 - 400} }
Abstract This article judges modern nuclear power and renewable electricity technologies according to six criteria: cost; fuel availability; land degradation; water use; climate change; and safety/security. It concludes that when these criteria are taken into consideration, renewable electricity technologies present policy makers with a superior alternative for minimising the risk of fuel interruptions and shortages, helping improve the fragile transmission network and reducing environmental… CONTINUE READING
