Nuclear Energy and the Low Carbon Transition
This PhD thesis examines the role of nuclear energy in the transition to a low carbon economy in the United Kingdom. Theories of sustainable development, including ecological modernisation, are used to frame its findings and emerging geographies of nuclear new build are explored. Analysis of policy …

Manpower development for new nuclear energy programs
… were seriously considering embarking on nuclear energy programs, either having signed contracts with reactor vendors or having made investments for the development of infrastructure for nuclear energy. Several more countries are expected to initiate nuclear energy programs during this …

Nonproliferation issues in the nuclear energy future
… the climate system, unless less carbon-intensive energy technologies are introduced. The nuclear power option is being discussed much more actively as part of this greenhouse gas challenge. Deployment on the necessary scale must entail establishment of nuclear power and a supporting infrastructure …

Evaluating Nuclear Energy Power Conversion Cycles for Microreactors
Microreactors have become increasingly popular in the past decade, but the economics of these technologies has yet to be proven. Analysis is required to support the development of microreactor designs by comparing design choices and predicting costs. A simulation tool was developed which estimates …

Evaluating Nuclear Energy as a Component of U.S. Energy Innovation Systems
<p>Nuclear energy is contentious in policy discussions that evaluate its role in the current U.S. clean energy innovation system. OECD nations, on average, have begun to reduce their dependence on nuclear energy. However, the United States has remained invested in its nuclear energy infrastructure …

Modeling barriers to cost change in solar and nuclear energy technologies
… other electricity production technologies, while nuclear plant costs have risen. Changing costs have contributed to global energy transitions in the past, and our capacity to decarbonize the electricity sector will depend on the cost of low-carbon electricity production technologies like …

The Lone Star and the atom: Nuclear energy in Texas, 1945-1993
Nuclear energy, since its inception in 1945, has been one the United States' most controversial technologies. Even before the well-publicized incidences at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, nuclear projects encountered a variety of problems and obstacles that decreased their cost-effectiveness. …

Eskom's employees perception on nuclear power in accordance with the IRP 2010 Nuclear Energy Plan
The future role of nuclear power in global sustainable development, and particularly in the development of industrialising countries is contentious; the debate is often highly emotive. The Republic of South Africa's (RSA) progress towards its largest nuclear procurement program is taking place in …

Materials Design for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems: Refractory High Entropy Alloys and Metallic Multilayer Composites
Advanced nuclear reactors present a multitude of materials challenges due to high op- erating temperatures, corrosive environments, and neutron radiation damage. In this thesis, I focus on two approaches to designing better materials for advanced reactors, high entropy alloys (HEAs) and metallic …

The perception of risk : a summary of studies and how they pertain to the future of nuclear energy
One of the most interesting aspects of nuclear power is the perceived risk that the public infers from its existence. This paper explores the public's response to risk in general and specifically to nuclear power by reviewing behavioral studies examining how risk is perceived. The paper also …
