Dear Colleague,

Today we publish our .

Nuclear energy is seen as one way to respond to climate change,
creating a dilemma for developing countries searching for relatively
cheap sources of energy. Some have already invested in nuclear power.
But after the accident at Fukushima, Japan, the world is taking a 
second
look at the technology, asking whether it is the best, long-term 
option.


  	* Is nuclear power affordable?
	* Can it be operated safely, and regulated effectively?
	* How has the Fukushima accident affected future plans for nuclear
energy?

Our  presents an in-depth analysis with opinions, features including
facts & figures, up-to-date key reports and useful links. The articles
address issues that policymakers in developing countries need to
consider when weighing-up nuclear against other sources of energy.
Leading nuclear physicist _Pervez Hoodbhoy_, physicist and former
government minister _José Goldemberg_, and nuclear technology professor
_Michael Mangala_ offer their views on the debate.

The Fukushima accident raised questions that must be addressed by
developing countries considering nuclear energy.

Technology policy professor _Dave Elliott_ charts the progress and
prospects of nuclear power for developing countries after the accident
at Fukushima.
  |

 From Vietnam to Kenya and Nigeria to Jordan, developing countries are
determined to develop nuclear energy despite the Fukushima accident, 
our
team of _SciDev.Net_ science journalists reports.
  |

Leading nuclear physicist _Pervez Hoodbhoy_ argues that nuclear power
is no magic solution — it's not safe, or cheap, and it leads to
weapons programmes.
  |

Brazilian physicist and former government minister, _José Goldemberg_,
says rising costs and re-evaluated risks make nuclear power a poor
choice even for developing nations that can afford it.
  |

Nuclear technology professor _Michael J. Mangala_ says nuclear power
can benefit developing countries but requires long-term planning and an
educated workforce.
