With enthusiasm and witty intelligence, Mahaffey unearths lost reactors on far-flung islands and finds trees that were exposed to active fission which then changed gender or bloomed in the dead of winter. He explains why we have nuclear submarines but not nuclear aircraft and wh…
L?énergie nucléaire produit un peu plus de 10% de l?électricité mondiale, une électricité de base, contrôlable et qui émet très peu de gaz à effet de serre. Mais cette énergie inquiète. On lui reproche son origine militaire, le voile de secret qui a couvert les débuts de son dév…
L'auteur, qui a travaillé de nombreuses années dans la recherche et l'ingénierie nucléaires, propose un panorama de l'énergie nucléaire, des conditions de production aux accidents qu'elle a pu ou peut provoquer en passant par les questions liées à la gestion des déchets et à sa …
