Energy World June 2011
As the Fukushima story continues to unfold in Japan, far to the west in Chernobyl, Ukraine, steps are being taken to permanently render safe the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history, 25 years on from the event. A steel arch is to be constructed adjacent to the damaged reactor and then slid into position over the site – see the news story on page 3.
But much of this issue focuses first on power generation and then on energy R&D. Three authors discuss the history of UK power generation; its current status and prospects for radical change – see pages 12, 14 and 15 to compare these contrasting views. Elsewhere, we take a look at energy research and development, on marine energy devices from pages 20–22, and in several other areas from page 25. Last, turn to page 28 for a couple of letters from readers.
