M.V. Ramana (pictured) is with the Nuclear Futures Laboratory and the Program on Science and Global Security at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University.  He is an Advisory Board member of Beyond Nuclear.  His recent column, Nuclear Power Is No Fix for Climate, debunks the myth that nuclear energy can, or will, contribute to climate change mitigation.  Ramana points out that the expansion needed for nuclear energy to make a meaningful impact in greenhouse gas reduction is unrealistic. He writes: "Several technical and economic challenges confront such a large and relatively rapid expansion of nuclear reactor construction; these challenges suggest that although nuclear power will remain part of electricity generation in several countries, its prospects for significant growth are limited. In addition, there are social problems; in particular, sustained public opposition in most countries around the world, a sentiment that was clearly apparent in 2011 after the multiple meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant."
