(PRWEB) April 7, 2006 -- Charles B. Ramsey’s Commercial Nuclear Power: Assuring Safety for the Future describes the role that nuclear power could play as a viable and secure option in meeting our energy needs.

Can we get away from our dependence on oil and find a safe, clean and inexpensive substitute? Is nuclear power the answer? Many people worry about the safety of nuclear power, particularly after the horrific 1986 Chornobyl nuclear plant accident, but are those concerns valid? Author Charles B. Ramsey, a U.S. Department of Energy scientist spent most of his career improving safety at commercial and defense nuclear facilities in both the United States and worldwide. Well versed in the special problems of nuclear engineering, Ramsey calms fears and gives valuable, expert insights into the role nuclear energy can and should play in our future.

This illuminating book describes the way nuclear power could provide clean and affordable electrical energy to a country struggling with gas shortages and environmental conflicts. By examining the nuclear plant operations, Ramsey shows readers how safety can, and will be, assured. With an honesty rarely seen in this industry, he addresses the impediments to accident prevention, dissects how accidents have occurred, and he outlines how they can be avoided in the future.

Why is there such an international demand for this kind of power and what does it mean for our future? What kind of electricity production can we achieve from available fuels? In clear, easy-to-follow prose, Ramsey provides an overview of everything we need to understand nuclear power.
