A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. Nanotechnology is now used in precision engineering, new materials development as well as in electronics; electromechanical systems as well as mainstream biomedical applications in areas such as gene therapy, drug delivery and novel drug discovery techniques. 410 0$aEnergy policies, politics and prices series. 606 $aNuclear energy$zUnited States 606 $aElectric power production$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aElectric power production$xEnvironmental aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aNuclear energy 615 0$aElectric power production$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aElectric power production$xEnvironmental aspects 701 $aFurham$b Perry G$01128687 712 02$aFurham, Perry G.$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910653177303321 996 $aNuclear power's role in generating electricity$92661057 997 $aUNINA
