Description

This guide helps readers explore the science, technology, politics, and culture that surround nuclear energy. When nuclear power first made headlines, it was hailed as the energy that would power the 21st century. Now when it makes the news, it is usually bad news-a reactor accident or a debate about storing radioactive waste. This is an essential reference for anyone with an interest or involvement in the nuclear debate. * Provides a detailed chronology, statistics, and a directory of resources for further research
