Outline of data	Electricity provision must have regard to minimising environmental and public health effects, both directly from generation and indirectly from obtaining fuels and dealing with wastes. With nuclear power the focus is on uranium mining and nuclear wastes. The health and environmental costs of nuclear power are very low relative to the main alternatives.
Simulation process
Expected outcome of the process (obtained knowledge, analysis results, output of tools)
