Hewitt G.F., Collier J.G. Introduction to nuclear power

Second Edition, Taylor and Francis, New York, 2000. – 320 pp.

There is no doubt that there are currently considerable fears in the minds of many people about nuclear power generation. Unless these fears are dispelled through a deeper and more widespread understanding of the technologies and other issues involved, the development of nuclear power, which has a vital contribution to make to the world's energy requirements, may be jeopardized.The Earth and Nuclear Power: Sources and Resources.
