About This Item
Washington, DC, U.S.A.: Resources for the Future Inc., 1987. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 473 pages including index. Argues that deep geologic repositories can solve the waste problem and go far toward meeting the imperatives of protecting life from dangerously radioactive material, and preventing the unauthorized use of explosive plutonium. Details the origins of nuclear wastes, probes the lack of planning for waste disposal that marked the optimistic early years of nuclear power, and analyzes the controversies and technological investigations that have arisen as scientists, environmentalists, members of Congress, and federal agency officialls try to keep pace with the mounting nuclear legacy. Examines how fuel reprocessing complicates the containment of radioactivity and the safeguarding of plutonium. Plutonium recylcing, he concludes, is an economic and political albatross for those nations choosing it. Light soiling to edges. Bit of writing at base of front endpaper..
