Description:
Simon Taylor looks at the history of nuclear power in Britain, charting the decline following it's initial introduction through to the renaissance we're currently seeing.
Synopsis:
The go-ahead for Britain's first new nuclear power station in 20 years, Hinkley Point C, marks a major change of policy. This book traces the UK's nuclear energy history, from the optimism of the 1950s, through the disillusionment of the 1980s to a new role for nuclear in the 21st century. * How the dreams of cheap electricity and export success died. * How privatizing the electricity industry revealed the wishful thinking of the nuclear sector. * Why improved management gave the privatized nuclear stations a new lease of life. * How the 2008 Climate Change Act unexpectedly encouraged 'new nuclear'. * Criticism of the industry: *"Why has it taken so long to get new reactors?" v. "If we wait a few years, a solar revolution will provide affordable, low-risk power" * Was this the right choice? * Concerns about the prices future consumers will have to pay.
