The Nuclear Renaissance and International Security

Reviews / Votes

"[A] well-documented series of essays by 14 well-qualified analysts. . . . Although all of the chapters are worthy of attention, those providing statistical analysis may be of particular interest in that they call into question some of the traditional assumptions of analysts regarding the prospective impact of an expansion of nuclear power generation. . . . Recommended."-C. W. Herrick, Choice "Adam Stulberg, Matthew Fuhrmann and their co-authors offer a sober assessment of the key drivers and consequences of the spread of nuclear energy just when the industry and nonproliferation community need it most. Their skillful blending of cutting-edge research with practical commentary will enhance efforts to meet the challenges posed by global civil nuclear expansion in the years ahead."-Former Senator Sam Nunn, Co-Chairman, Nuclear Threat Initiative "Fuhrmann and Stulberg's well-structured volume provides a broad and deep understanding of the causes and consequences of the "nuclear renaissance." This insightful volume asks all of the big questions raised by the future of nuclear power and brings together leading experts to shed light on them. The carefully researched chapters avoid overly simple answers, instead providing analysis that supports nuanced conclusions. Beyond advancing the scholarly debate, this excellent volume offers valuable guidance to policy makers."-Charles Glaser, The George Washington University
