Thursday, 2 December 2010. Public Perception - Scary Nuclear! This is NOT nuclear power! Nuclear this, nuclear that. There is no denying or escaping the reality that the civil nuclear power has benefited enormously from the funding and research into nuclear weapons programs, however nuclear power need not be scary! The motivations for the first nuclear reactors were to produce fissile materials such as plutonium for military weapons needs. A recent example of this is the media treatment of the transforme...
