{"product_id":"9783540404477","title":"Nuclear Waste","description":"Foreword Over the past decades, Piero Risoluti has built up an intimate knowl­ edge of the nuclear industry - in particular of nuclear waste man­ agement. In this book, his scientific understanding is apparent - for example in his comprehensive but readily understandable descrip­ tions of waste conditioning and disposal. Moreover, he has also been directly involved in the wider societal and political debates in the nuclear area - especially in his Italian homeland. What shines through in these pages is.his frustration at the lack of progress in im­ plementing disposal concepts that are judged by many to be very safe and his unfaltering drive to improve this situation. To provoke debate, the book is very deliberately written in a po­ larising, black and white style that can easily be labelled as \"politi­ cally incorrect\" - a characterisation that Piero will probably agree with and be amused by. Criticism is directed equally at \"loud­ mouthed and incompetent anti-nuclear environmentalists\", the \"nu­ clear Byzantium\" of the international nuclear establishment, the \"in­ tellectual narcissism\" of those nuclear experts that dare to admit the importance of societal issues, and the tendency of politicians to \"in­ definite procrastination\". These are not words chosen to avoid open confrontation of opposing views.","brand":"Piero Risoluti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47660288540990,"sku":"9783540404477","price":3012.76,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9783540404477.jpg?v=1707721783","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9783540404477","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
