Item Nuclear Energy and Proliferation Resistance: Securing Benefits, Limiting Risks(American Physical Society, 2005-05) Fetter, Steve; Hagengruber, Roger; Ahearne, John; Budnitz, Robert J.; Moniz, Ernest; Richter, Burton; Shea, Thomas E.; Tape, Jim; von Hippel, FrankGlobal electricity demand is expected to increase by more than 50 percent by 2025 and nuclear power is a primary carbon-free energy source for meeting this extensive global energy expansion.
