"A firsthand experience of a women, who grew up in the backyard of Los Alamos and feared nuclear power, and her journey researching nuclear power. Starting with a little background on how nuclear power works and then delving into the process from mining to electricity production, her position on nuclear power is changed as she learns about the safety of nuclear power. Highly recommended to gain insight into the industry and learn about the safety of nuclear power."
"A nice read, there are some new facts and viewpoints. It's researched well. Cravens seems a little too enthralled with Rip Anderson, but the guy does know his stuff. I'd like to see a little more time spent with opposing positions."
"This is a great book! I thought I knew something about nuclear energy but this book increased my knowledge significantly. It draws on Ms. Cravens' direct experience in touring many nuclear plants and labs in the U.S. with a knowledgeable guide. It explodes many myths about the dangers of nuclear power and prepares the reader to weigh the pros and cons of coal, nuclear and "alternative" sources of energy."
"This well written, informative book, is a must read. For anyone wanting the truth about, nuclear energy, coal generating, solar power, wind power, hydro power, and any other form of electrical generation read this book. With so much agenda driven news on energy, read this book and learn the truth for yourself. Then you can discern who is telling the truth or pushing their political agenda. It is written in a way that is easy for the lay-man to understand, I highly recommend it."
