ABSTRACT
In deciding the future course of nuclear energy, it is necessary to
re-examine man's long-term energy options, in particular solar energy
and the breeder reactor. Both systems pose difficulties: energy from
the sun is likely to be expensive as well as limited, whereas a massive
world-wide deployment of nuclear breeders will create problems of safety
and of proliferation. Nuclear energy's long-term success depends on
resolving both of these problems. Collocation of nuclear facilities
with a system of resident inspectors are measures that ought to help
increase the proliferation-resistance as well as the safety of a large-
scale, long-term nuclear system based on breeders. In such a long-term
system a strengthened International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is
viewed as playing a central role.
