"About 20 or 30 years ago, if someone had talked about nuclear energy as an environmentally friendly, clean technology, they probably would have been laughed out of the room.” — M. V. Ramana

M. V. Ramana is a physicist and one of the world’s foremost critics of nuclear power. As Simons Chair in Disarmament, Global and Human Security at the University of British Columbia, he argues that nuclear energy is costly, risky, and no solution to climate change.

Author of The Power of Promise and Nuclear Is Not the Solution, Ramana combines technical expertise with political analysis to expose the hidden dangers of the nuclear industry. His research challenges the myths of “green” atomic power and highlights its ties to weapons proliferation and environmental injustice.

“Ramana presents a devastatingly convincing case against the dangerous distractions of nuclear energy.” — review of Nuclear Is Not the Solution
