'The reality is nuclear is neither clean, safe, or smart; but a very complex technology with the potential to cause significant harm,' say four global experts.

"The reality is nuclear is neither clean, safe, or smart; but a very complex technology with the potential to cause significant harm."As global scientists continue to warn of the urgent need to keep fossil fuels in the ground, a quartet of European and U.S. experts on Tuesday made a comprehensive case for why nuclear power should be not be considered a solution to the climate crisis.
