Programme: The Question of Nuclear Energy
June 1, 2009 in Nuclear Energy
Nuclear power; the feared and unloved energy source, which proved so controversial during the second half of the 20th century, is back.
Professor Janne Wallenius is a reactor physicist at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. In this eye-opening interview he talks about the advances made in the technology around nuclear power, both in terms of the safety of the plants themselves and new techniques for storing used fuel.
Could nuclear power provide 40% of the planet’s electricity needs in the future? Professor Wallenius believes that this is not only possible, but inevitable and desirable as it would reduce our dependence on oil using existing technology. Watch the interview now for a new view of nuclear.
