University of Calgary, Calgary, AB.http://hdl.handle.net/1880/109573Alberta has a challenging task ahead, of making important choices for its future source of energy, keeping the economy and environment into consideration. Should it increase the consumption of more fossil fuels, as the demand for electrical power and energy grows with increase in population and economic activities like oil sands operations, or should the province venture into other sources like the renewable and nuclear energy to combat the problem of climate change? Taking into account of its large capacity for energy production, with near absence of greenhouse gas emissions, nuclear energy could be the most viable solution for the province. I have tried to cover all the important facets of nuclear power in this report to get a better understanding of its technological concepts, benefits, issues that plague the sector – financial, environmental, political and made comparisons with alternate energy sources to get broader picture of the available choices.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
