Title: Radioactive Waste From Nuclear Power Plants
Description: Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Power Plants provides a comprehensive examination of Sweden's evolving nuclear waste management policies and the political landscape that shaped them. With a focus on the Nuclear Stipulation Act of 1977, the book outlines the stringent requirements imposed on reactor operators to ensure the safe long-term disposal of radioactive waste. The Swedish nuclear industry's response to these demands, particularly the KBS (Nuclear Fuel Safety) project's approach to vitrified waste management, is analyzed in detail, alongside the broader political debates that influenced Sweden's nuclear future. The book serves as both a technical and historical account of the country's nuclear energy policy, detailing the transition from early optimism about nuclear power to increasing public skepticism and government intervention. Beyond Sweden's domestic policies, Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Power Plants explores the international implications of nuclear waste disposal, offering insights into how other nations might approach similar challenges. The detailed safety assessments, site evaluations, and legislative measures presented in the book underscore the complexities of balancing energy needs with environmental and public health concerns. The analysis of Sweden's 1980 nuclear referendum, which ultimately led to a commitment to phase out nuclear energy, highlights the intersection of science, policy, and public opinion in shaping national energy strategies. This work is essential for anyone interested in the governance of nuclear energy, the intricacies of waste management, and the broader implications of transitioning away from nuclear power in the face of mounting environmental and political pressures. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1981.Many titles in the Voices Revived program are also newly available as ebooks, offered at a discounted price to support wider access to scholarly work.
