Customer Reviews

Excellent overview on the pros and cons of nuclear power

My father-in-law was a nuclear physicist, my father and brother engineers for the US gov't. I found this book to be excellent background for laymen. I am not an engineer-merely an author, reader and dentist. This book has become required reading for my kids and nieces.
