environmental implications of generating electric power from nuclear fission have been a matter of concern since the construction of the earliest nuclear reactors and power stations in the 1950's. After two or more decades of construction of nuclear power stations, this ceased in many countries, largely as a result of concerns for the environment and human health. However, the pressing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is leading many countries to plan extensive new programmes of construction of nuclear power stations which serves to re-emphasis concerns over environmental impacts. 410 0$aIssues in environmental science and technology ;$v32. 606 $aNuclear power plants$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aNuclear power plants$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a333.7924 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139568103321 996 $aNuclear power and the environment$92148300 997 $aUNINA
