Preferred term

Definition

  • Nuclear power is a key issue for global studies in at least two senses. First, nuclear power is a means for generating electricity and is considered by many to be an instrument for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to the global warming phenomenon while responding to increasing demands for electrical power.
