Nuclear Information Library

Welcome to Sense About Science’s nuclear energy information library. This library is for journalists, parliamentarians, and everyone who wants clear evidence-based information about nuclear energy. The information provided here is a result of bringing together a consultative group of the scientific and engineering bodies.

There is also a short briefing document about the wider energy discussion:

For a list of organisations with a scientific interest in nuclear power, and for links to their electronic publications, please click here.

This library will be updated as new information becomes available. If your organisation has a science-related question about nuclear power, or wishes to speak to a scientist, please e-mail .

Sense About Science is an independent charitable trust promoting good science and evidence in public debates. We do this by promoting respect for evidence and by urging scientists to engage actively with a wide range of groups, particularly when debates are controversial or difficult. We work with scientists to respond to inaccuracies in public claims about science, medicine, and technology; promote the benefits of scientific research to the public; help those who need expert help contact scientists about issues of importance; brief non-specialists on scientific developments and practices. Sense About Science is governed by a Board of Trustees and run by a small office staff. We are supported by an Advisory Council and some 1,000 scientists and other specialists, ranging from Nobel Laureates to postdoctoral fellows, who are signed up to our database, Evidence Base. We also work with younger scientists in our VoYS (Voice of Young Science) programme, which you can read more about here.
