Comprehensive Overview

Comprehensive overview of the nuclear industry and the way individual citizens were able to bring light to the sordid, goverment sponsored, nuclear industry at the cost of hundredds of millions and untold ill-health. The consequences of nuclear power will last with us for a thousand years--and it never even made economic sense, let alone environmental sense. Thank God for the individual citizens who took it upon themselves (they're profiled in the book) to stop this insanity one nuclear plant at a time.
