Description
With the constant threat of oil shortages facing
us and wanting to educate herself about possible
alternatives, Gwyneth Cravens skeptically sets
out to find for herself the truth about nuclear
energy. Her conclusion It is a totally viable
and practical solution to global warming. She
enlists the help of Rip Anderson, a leading
scientist in the field of risk assessment, and
with his tutelage, she travels the country,
visiting uranium mines, enrichment centers,
reactors, and waste sites. Along the way we learn
a lot of science, review the history of
nuclear energy, relive the battles over it, see
how successfully it has been applied all over the
world, examine the misconceptions, and compare
nuclear power to other energy sources, with
their risks and benefits. Cravens is not out to
deliver a polemic, however. Coming from a
childhood spent building fallout shelters,
Cravens viscerally understands the terror the
word quotnucearquotevokes. She gives us a
vocabulary for practical risk assessment while
investigating the psychology of nuclear fears,
starting with the secrecy of the
Manhattan Project and the legacy of government
cover-ups both here and in the USSR. One by one,
she dismantles the arguments against nuclear
energy.
