Reconsidering Nuclear Power

Wikimedia/Public Domain

You can say this about nuclear power plants: no carbon emissions. 

But is that enough to make them a viable option in a world attempting to cut emissions sharply?  SOCAN, Southern Oregon Climate Action Now, will at least listen to the arguments in favor of nuclear power plants, at its next regular meeting (Tuesday, September 27). 

Retired physicist Dr. Charles Sinclair, who now lives in Medford, will lay out the workings of nuclear plants.  And he visits us in advance of the event to talk about what he knows.
