"Going Nuclear": New book makes the case for an atomic renaissance
Briefly

Tim Gregory, a nuclear chemist at the UK National Nuclear Laboratory, transitioned from dating meteorites to working with nuclear power. He analyzes nuclear reactors and the purity of nuclear medicine. Through his book, 'Going Nuclear,' he shares the potential of nuclear science in addressing global challenges like climate change and energy demands. With renewed public interest and governmental investments in nuclear power, a renaissance in nuclear energy may be on the horizon, highlighting both its possibilities and risks.
