The international community is facing two existential threats – climate change and nuclear war. At the center of both of these challenges is civil nuclear energy. It is rising in importance as a zero-carbon energy source as the globe grapples with the inexorable rise of greenhouse gases. And it is a dual-use technology that can be diverted from peaceful uses to weapons purposes if there is a breach in the domestic and international controls. Advancing Security and Safeguarding in the Nuclear Power Industry offers expert and comprehensive descriptions and analysis of the key elements of the civil nuclear industry, how they can be managed to support the essential goals of achieving zero-carbon emissions while preventing nuclear proliferation and terrorism, and how the global community can and should prepare for future nuclear technology challenges. It is an essential read for those who understand that a key element of the future will be the nuclear-climate-global security nexus.\"\u003cb\u003e --Kenneth N.
