The Truth About Nuclear Energy
by Gwyneth Cravens
Review this book!
Is nuclear power a viable energy source for the future? Once vilified as too dangerous--especially after the Chernobyl and Three Mile Island incidents--nuclear energy is again being spoken of as an alternative to fossil fuel. Science writer Gwyneth Cravens tells of her arduous and detailed research into the issue, as she visits sites, explores the health risks of all energy choices, and addresses the specific criticisms of nuclear fuel, including nuclear waste and terrorism threats. Cravens finds that there are lingering myths about nuclear energy that may be outdated.
