“Nuclear Energy” is an online source published by Facts on File. It is extremely informative about the different issues surrounding nuclear energy and I have found it to be very helpful. It presents various issues in a fair and objective manner, making it easy for the reader to get a basic but solid understanding of the controversies surrounding nuclear power. The topics, which are discussed in varying levels of detail, are as follows:

· The Atomic Age

· Triumph and Troubles

· Nuclear Energy Today

· Nuclear Fuel: Cheap and Plentiful

· Is Nuclear Energy 'Green'?

· Dangers Alleged

· The Nuclear Waste Challenge

· How Bright Is Nuclear Energy's Future?

This source includes many interesting facts, statistics, quotes and paraphrases from advocates and professionals who are both for and against nuclear power. I highly recommend it.
