Viewpoint: Nuclear's stand-out resilience in an energy crisis : Perspectives - World Nuclear News: When it comes to energy, global market shocks are good at turning assets into liabilities.

It is no wonder then, that such a stark and sudden loss of demand would reduce oil tankers to simple storage containers."
