Overview

Nuclear is an appealing option for stable, emissions-free power. Yet public sentiment has stalled its growth in much of the West even as expansion continues in East and South Asia. We review how nuclear power works, its costs and benefits, and safety and proliferation concerns, before zooming in on its status in Canada and the unresolved problem of nuclear waste. Once those long-term waste costs are factored in, we find reason to be skeptical of nuclear's role in a green transition.
