Mr. Brand was also kind enough to endorse my book Rad Decision: A Novel of Nuclear Power. This profile of the US nuclear power industry is written from a true insider's perspective - I've been at it over twenty years working at reactors.
ReplyDeleteI believe there are many energy futures possible - with or without nuclear - and we'll make the best decisions if we first understand our energy present in realistic terms. I'm don't think many have a good handle on it right now. We've heard from academics, pundits, advocates, executives and spokesmen on nuclear. The coverage of the issue has seemed to me like reporting on a war without ever talking to the soldiers. So here's a voice from the inside.
In Rad Decision I cover the good and the bad. (Yes, TMI and Chernobyl). The book is written with the general reader in mind - it covers the people and politics as well as the technology of the industry in a way only someone working inside the security perimeter could do. It is available free online at http://RadDecision.blogspot.com or in paperback at online retailers. There is no corporate sponsorship for this and I get no royalties.
