The catalyst for this study was the Fukushima-Daiichi major nuclear
accident of 11 March 2011. In this event, a severe earthquake and15
metre tsunami caused serious damage and equipment failures at
Japan's Fukushima 1 Nuclear Power Plant which were judged by the
International Atomic Energy Agency to be equally as serious as the
Soviet Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986. Against a background of
nuclear hesitancy and reassessment, the prospect of including or
excluding nuclear power in a low-carbon twenty-first century world
is now increasingly critical. It is in this emerging scenario and
context that this book presents a full suite of historical,
contemporary and projected data. Its use of complementary and
comparative country-based case studies provides ample opportunity
for developing strongly illustrative analysis of policy
effectiveness in diverse polities and markets. In this way, it
combines clear, comprehensive and rigorously science-based
evidence, analysis and interpretation of data, all leading to
conclusions and policy recommendations. Furthermore, it builds an
understanding of the complexities and many challenges posed by the
nuclear power option.
