Nuclear power, however, is itself controversial, because of its costs, its environmental effects and the security risks it poses. This book discusses these critical issues surrounding nuclear power in relation to Asia. It discusses also the politics of nuclear power and the activities of civil society organisations concerned about nuclear issues. Throughout the book the perspectives are included of both proponents and opponents of nuclear power on the key controversial issues."--Publisher's description. 410 0$aRoutledge security in Asia Pacific series ;$v20. 606 $aNuclear industry$zAsia 606 $aEnergy security$zAsia 615 0$aNuclear industry 615 0$aEnergy security 676 $a333.792/4095 701 $aBasrur$b Rajesh M$01680188 701 $aKoh$b Swee Lean Collin$f1982-$01680189 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810902303321 996 $aNuclear power and energy security in Asia$94048781 997 $aUNINA
