While I’m a longtime nuclear energy worker myself, I can’t say that I’m sure what the future of nuclear energy should be (really). But I am sure we will make better decisions if we understand what nuclear energy is right now. <BR/><BR/> However, I’ve come to realize that the real world of nuclear power is unknown to the general public, which has had far more access to the workings of the Starship Enterprise than to the nuke plant down the street. In response, I’ve written an insider’s account of the American nuclear power industry, called “Rad Decision”. The book is available, at no cost to readers, at RadDecision.blogspot.com. <BR/><BR/>Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand has endorsed the book, stating: “I’d like to see RAD DECISION widely read.”<BR/><BR/>Designed for the lay reader, this unique peek beyond the security fence is in the form of a techno-thriller novel. Rad Decision covers nuclear plant operation, events such as Chernobyl and TMI, and ends with how an accident might be handled today. It also includes, for the first time, an insider perspective on the politics and human relations that greatly impact how nuclear units in the U.S. are operated. <BR/><BR/>At RadDecision.blogspot.com the book is presented as a series of Episodes (15 minutes reading time each) and also provided as a PDF file. This is an independent, non-profit project with no advertising. All sides of the nuclear power debate will find items to like, and dislike, within Rad Decision. <BR/><BR/>I hope you’ll take the opportunity to take a look at http://RadDecision.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>James Aach<BR/><BR/>(...and if you like it, please pass the word.)James Aachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762006792617588325noreply@blogger.com
