    Lec 25 - Nuclear Power: How, Why, Barriers

    "Lec 25 - Nuclear Power: How, Why, Barriers" (May 5, 2010) Burton Richter, Emeritus Director of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, discusses the role of nuclear power in the future world energy portfolio and the United States in specific by framing the problems of proliferation, waste disposal, pollution, safety - including remarks on Chernobyl and Three-Mile Island - and the fundamental technological challenges of other alternative energy sources.
