Nuclear Power - Can the use of nuclear energy be justified?


Expert: Steve Nelson - 9/28/2009

Question
Can the use of nuclear energy be justified? What are the facts, stastistics & case studies regarding this? Thanks

Answer
Of course it can, or we wouldn't use it.  Since you asked a question with such a massive scope, I'm just going to point you in the direction of some research.  Start with the wiki page, it's pretty accurate:
