Nuclear energy

BètaBreak edition April 2019

Nuclear energy has always been a particularly controversial subject. Some believe it is the holy grail of sustainable energy, with low emission and high efficiency, while others argue that the possible dangers of nuclear disaster can and should not be overlooked What is the current status in nuclear energy policies? What should and shouldn’t we take into consideration when thinking of, for example, opening or closing nuclear power plants? In this April’s BètaBreak we will approach these questions from a scientific as well as a social point of view, with three interesting speakers to be announced.
