Cover; Title Page; Copyright Page; Contents; Foreword 1; Foreword 2; Preface; Introduction; Part I The World after March 11, 2011 -- Ripple Effect of the Fukushima Accident; 1 Reliability and Nuclear Power; Nuclear Accidents in History; Nuclear Power Plants are not Atomic Bombs; Is Nuclear Power Reliable?; "Second-hand Contamination" -- An Unfounded Notion; Nuclear Power Plants: Economical and Safe; Monitoring Imported Japanese Food; Human Factors; Paying Heed to Maintenance; Nuclear Waste and Waste Management; Impact of Nuclear Science and Technologies on Modern Society

The Fukushima nuclear incident made people ponder and question nuclear safety again, resulting in decisions by certain countries to phase out nuclear power completely. Is this the right decision? Are there better ways to deal with this important issue of the 21th century? The book analyses the pros and cons of a spectrum of energies, ranging from petroleum, coal, gas to water, solar and wind energies as well as nuclear energy in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear incident in 2011. It maintains that we should look at nuclear energy from a rational point of view.
