Energy crisis : the nuclear alternative
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Television special about nuclear power as an energy source, discussing its pros and cons. Explains how a nuclear reactor works, using the Dresden Station in Morris, Illinois. Explains the principle danger in nuclear fission--a nuclear meltdown--and how plants are designed to prevent it. Interviews members of the National Interveners, a consortium of environmental groups that seeks legal restrictions and safety reform for nuclear power plants. Outlines the group's objections to current nuclear power plants, with rebuttals from the commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission. Includes interviews with the Business and Professional People for the Public Interest, a group that lobbies for safety in nuclear power plants. Discusses the proposed liquid metal fast breeder reactor, which would use diluted amounts of plutonium instead of uranium. Discusses other possible energy sources: nuclear fusion, petroleum, solar power, geothermal energy, and magneto hydrodynamics. Concludes with a discussion of President Nixon's proposed energy research budget, which critics claim is insufficient to develop high quality nuclear power plants
