The Cult of the Atom
Author: Daniel F. Ford
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 9780671253011
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Anti-nuke expose based on the secret files of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. It tells the inside story of the most ambitious, expensive, and risky venture ever undertaken by the federal government; the effort to create a commercial nuclear power industry. Meticulously documented report that probes the internal workings of a powerful government agency as never before. With the sober precision of a legal brief, it tells a harrowing story with urgent implications, for six dozen nuclear power stations, the relics of the A.E.C.'s impetuous nuclear program, are still operating today all around the United States.

The Nuclear Power Deception
Author: Arjun Makhijani
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
This book provides critical analysis and historical evidence to refute the claims of the nuclear power industry that nuclear power can alleviate the build-up of greenhouse gases and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. It also reveals the hazards of further proliferation of nuclear weapons from the growing quantities of plutonium generated by existing nuclear power plants throughout the world. Prepared under the auspices of a scientifically respected institute, "The Nuclear Power Deception" exposes the flagrant misrepresentation of nuclear power as "to cheap to meter" and environmentally benign and safe by government and industry officials in the 1940s and 1950s when they had ample evidence to the contrary. Instead they suppressed that evidence, much of which is presented in this book. Essential background reading for students, teachers, peace and environmental activists, and others concerned about the threat nuclear power continues to pose for the future of humankind.
