- W2271171966 abstract "All engineers have an ethical responsibility to the society they serve. Despite the fact that this responsibility is often taken for granted and receives a negligible reward, the profession probably has a greater positive impact on both the health, safety and quality of life of industrialised and third world nations than any other profession. Especially is this case for high technology engineering such as that encountered in the nuclear fuel cycle. Chernobyl notwithstanding, this paper seeks to illustrate why, on numerous fronts, nuclear technology provides the safest, cleanest and most effective method of base-load power generation. In particular it seeks to demonstrate that, despite the strident rhetoric and media exposure given to the anti-nuclear lobby, the technology is fundamental to the quality of life and the equitable sharing of energy by the year 2000 A.D. basically for the following reasons- (1) A rapidly increasing world population expected to reach 15 billion within forty years cannot be sustained without nuclear energy in the form of fission or fusion by any other means. 'Renewable' energy sources are the fond dreams of coercive utopians. (2) Fossil fuels - rapidly being depleted and irrenewable - are a far greater asset to planet earth in industrial, medical and agricultural usage than as energy sources. Furthermore, if continued to be used at ever increasing rates simply as sources of energy, they will eventually cause irreparable harm to the climate and environment of our planet. (3) The safety and technological superiority of the nuclear fuel cycle together with its high technology peripheral benefits both societal and fiscal constitute an ever increasing challenge and motivation which constitutes a major part of the nuclear engineer's ethical responsibility to society." @default.
