Nuclear NOW!

Part 1 Project 2016

 University of Greenwich | UK
Speculating on the controversial idea that nuclear power is the way forward for our energy needs, ‘Nuclear NOW!’ embraces this and proposes a new micro-generating nuclear power station in Greenwich Park. Recognising its contentious nature, the developer, Hitachi, creates a Japanese themed festival within the power station which will utilise the by-products from the power generating process to grow tea, farm fish for sushi and produce exotic fruit as a way to promote nuclear power.
