Research Proposal

Today there are a lot of problems on energy in Japan. Amoung these problems, the most controversial one is about nuclear power. This paper will explore the possibility of nuclear power as a solution to the problems thermal power generation which is now the major energy in Japan has. It seems that shifting the main energy from thermal power to nuclear power will better the environmental problems like the global warming, and soften the impact of a jump in a price of oil. Hodgson's book titled "Nuclear power, Energy and the environment", gives general information aboout energy problems. (1999) Harrison's book titled "Japan's nuclear future", explores the specific problems of nuclear power in Japan. (1996) Thomas's book titled " The realisties of nuclear power", shows the examples of other countries. (1988) These sources validate the thesis of my essay at this stage in my research.
