Nuclear Power: Both Sides--An Old Review For Current Concerns
Nuclear Power: Both Sides:The Arguments For and Against the Most Controversial Technology by Michio Kaku and Jennifer Trainer Thompson (Editor), Norton, 1990.
This is a collection of twenty-one essays, written by authors with differing opinions about the dangerous effects of radiation, waste disposal, reactor safety and nuclear economics. Solar, fusion and breeder reactors are also discussed.
For the Christian Science Monitor, I noted that with few exceptions, facts were presented fairly and opinions made clear without self-serving exaggeration. Chapter are preceded by useful introductions. In view of our current energy concerns, this book may have more than just historical significance.
Michio Kaku, professsor of Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York, is also author of a fascinating book Physics of the Future--How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100. I'm referencing this book for my realistic scifi, modeling how we might secure the future. See http://archivesofvarok.com
