[|New York Times Energy Topics: Nuclear]

Nuclear Pro & Con A debate and debate paper resource for those who will debate. Not only does it have a vast span of topics on nuclear energy but it also includes other topics like how it does when nuclear power is compared to alternative energy sources.

[|Scientific American: The Future of Nuclear Power]

National Academy of Engineering In general, the engineering profession is bullish on nuclear power (e.g., see [|NSPE position paper]), but the NAE website is surprisingly silent on the topic. This silence itself is telling. See search results on NEA for "nuclear power" [|here].

[|World Nuclear Association] (global trade association of nuclear energy companies)

[|Nuclear Energy Institute] (nuclear industry policy [or lobbying] organization)

[|Source Watch: Nuclear Spin Analysis Project] Source Watch provides directories of the people, organizations, and issues shaping the public agenda. Its primary purpose is to document the PR and propaganda activities of public relations firms and public relations professionals engaged in managing and manipulating public perception, opinion, and policy. (Description borrowed from SW home page.) Source Watch has pages dedicated to WNA and NEI.

[|Wikipedia: Nuclear Power Debate] The Wikipedia page on "[|nuclear power] " is quite extensive and especially helpful for those interested in the history of and technical issues surrounding nuclear power. The [|debate page], however, is focused exactly on the content appropriate to our class. Both the nuclear power and the nuclear power debate pages have reference sections at the end that provide both pro and con perspectives. (Dean's note: In my reading, the debate page is slighted oriented in favor of nuclear power. What do you think?)
