Abstract

Since I am a nuclear physicist, you may be expecting to hear from me that nuclear energy or atomic science and physics are important. But I am 100 % against the use of nuclear energy, despite the difficulty of inventing a new thing or making a new statement.

Hans-Peter Dürr, Director Emeritus of the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Astrophysics, Member of Club of Rome, Visiting Professor at Nagoya University Graduate School of Environmental Studies.
