Acceptable Nuclear Futures: The Second ERA (Minutes from an IEA Workshop)
Conference
·
OSTI ID:7041900
- Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), Oak Ridge, TN (United States). Institute for Energy Analysis (IEA)
This workshop brought together some of the most prominent early workers in the field of nuclear energy to examine the state of the art and to suggest directions and criteria for designing an acceptable future nuclear-energy system. Topics of discussion ranged from the technical characteristics of present and future reactor systems to the institutional issues of energy need, electrical substitution, alternative nuclear applications, and safety implications. As is frequently the case with such conferences, it was easier to identify problems with the present system than to agree on proposed routes to a second nuclear era. The range of opinions expressed at the workshop was too broad to permit the development of a simple consensus. In these edited proceedings the attempt is made to reconstruct the essence of the exchanges.
