Uranium Information Centre - 2007 Nov: Small nuclear reactors make it easier to introduce nuclear power to remote sites. There is revival of interest in small and simpler nuclear reactors for generating electricity, and for process heat. The interest is driven by a desire to reduce capital costs and to provide power away from main grid systems. The technologies involved are diverse, but two leading ones use high temperature helium to drive turbines directly.

Center for Reactor Information: A small web site run by retired engineers and scientists. All the articles posted here have been fully reviewed. This web site has been set up to provide accurate and complete information about nuclear energy using a writing style that non-technical people can understand easily. It is a small site with only a few posted articles and a few links to other information sources. However, the articles are good and the references point to the most informative sources.

National Center for Public Policy Research - : A collection of articles about nuclear energy and the issues associated with it in the USA. The National Center for Public Policy Research is a non-profit organization supported by private donations that promotes a strong USA defense policy and public policy solutions based on free market principles. One section of its web site is devoted to nuclear power issues. The articles are focussed on USA political concerns. However, they also provide accurate descriptions of nuclear power technology at a level sufficient to address the political debates.

J. A. L. Roberston - web site: An overview of the CANDU technology by J.A.L. Robertson This web site provides authoritative descriptions of the issues, the solutions, and decision criteria used to advance the CANDU industry. It is very well written and easy to read.

John McCarthy - 2005 May: A solid and easily read explanation of nuclear power issues. A question and answer format is used to address the primary issues of nuclear power. The technical details of nuclear reactors are outlined in easily understood terms, with lots of links to other web pages for details. Weapons proliferation, accidents, and what to do with used once fuel are discussed in very practical terms. The page neglects recent findings about radiation hormesis, which results in some statements about the Chernobyl accident that I disagree with. Overall, this is one of the best summaries nuclear power that I have read. I highly recommend it.

Web Site - updated frequently: Statements about nuclear science and technology that present a consensus of opinion from the ANS. This collection of brief statements presents clear descriptions that the general reader can easily follow. The articles are dated, so read the most recent ones first. This is an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to learn about the nuclear power situation. There is an American bias here, so other sources should also be consulted.

Web Site - Ron Bengtson's wide ranging discussion of nuclear power issues. This article is informative, accurate, and contains lots of references to other high quality articles about nuclear energy. Personally I think the article is too conservative since I think nuclear power is much safer than all other forms of energy production, and even much safer than the author claims. This is a good place to begin reading if you want an introduction to the concerns that are usually raised when nuclear power is discussed.

Web Site - Ron Bengtson argues for USA energy independence and achieving this by changing the technology base for energy. This site is too USA centric for me to feel totally comfortable while reading it. However, all the articles about nuclear power are accurate, well written, and very sensible.
