This study focuses the physical energy analysis of the nuclear energy system on:

• health hazards by radioactive materials

• nuclear safety, nuclear accidents, nuclear terrorism

• global context, energy security, prospects for the future

• nuclear power and climate, greenhouse gas emissions, prospects for the future,

• nuclear legacy: energy debt, challenges of the future.

Findings and conclusions of the life cycle assessment (LCA) are discussed in reports and other publications listed on this site. There is an overlap in the contents of the papers and reports, due to the intricate relationships between the addressed topics.
