The Nuclear Comeback
Directed by
That there's a renewed interest in nuclear power is clear: 27 new plants under construction and 136 planned for the next 10 years. For many, global warming is a persuasive reason to switch from emission-loaded traditional energy sources to the nuclear alternative. But atom splitting carries well known risks. The Nuclear Comeback handles this hot topic expertly, taking the viewer into until recently off-limits sites, such as the control room of the Chernobyl plant, in the search for a reasonable solution.
«[...] In the past couple years, I've noticed that more than a few energy providers, policy makers, scientists and environmentalists have joined forces to suggest that the world needs to embrace nuclear power again. In fact they've gone as far as to say it's clean and green: impossible! So what is the real story? I gathered an artillery of arguments for and against nuclear power then set off around the globe for heated debates with nuclear energy producers, uranium miners, pro-nuclear greenies, nuclear waste disposers, scientists and sceptics».
