Open University Professor Bill Nuttall's updated version of his 2005 'Nuclear Renaissance' book makes a case for nuclear power as low carbon and reliable, although, as the promotional blurb says, it accepts that 'in recent years it has struggled to play a strong role in global plans for electricity generation in the 21st century'. The new book also accepts that the much-hyped renaissance didn't in the event happen - with Fukushima blowing it off course... The blurb says that now 'many of those involved with nuclear power and environmental agencies see controlled expansion of nuclear plants as the most environmentally friendly way of meeting growing energy demands'. This is a book for them...The new book is quite comprehensive (though there is not much on load following) and is mostly up to date, with revised coverage of most areas of development, including fusion and Generation IV reactors. - Professor Dave Elliott in Renew Extra Weekly (https://renewextraweekly.blogspot.com/2022/08/nuclear-renaissance-revisited.html)
