The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has welcomed the publication of the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment report 'A low carbon nuclear future: Economic assessment of nuclear materials and spent nuclear fuel management in the UK'.
Nuclear energy has been identified by the RSC in its roadmap for the chemical sciences, Chemistry for Tomorrow's World, as being a core component of the energy mix for the UK in order for the country to meet its commitments to reduce carbon emissions. According to Dr Brian Carter, environmental sciences programme manager at the RSC, the report's recommendations would go a long way to addressing the problems of security supply and waste disposal, and would also provide thousands of jobs.
The Royal Society of Chemistry is the UK Professional Body for chemical scientists and an international Learned Society for the chemical sciences with more than 47,500 members worldwide. It is a major international publisher of chemical information, supports the teaching of chemical sciences at all levels and is a leader in bringing science to the public.
