How the Atom Will Save the World
Book •
Tim Gregory's 'Going Nuclear' champions nuclear energy as the key to addressing global warming and meeting the world's energy needs.

Gregory, a nuclear scientist, tackles the widespread fear of radioactivity, arguing that it is largely unfounded.

He presents evidence to counter the negative perceptions associated with nuclear power, highlighting the relatively low death toll from nuclear disasters compared to other energy sources.

The book emphasizes the potential of breeder reactors to provide a sustainable energy supply for centuries.

Gregory challenges both climate change deniers and those who oppose nuclear power, advocating for a balanced and informed approach to energy policy.

'Going Nuclear' ultimately makes a compelling case for embracing nuclear technology as a safe and essential component of a sustainable future.
