I was hoping for more of a historical note and some better context on the nuclear industry than I got from this. While there is some of that.... this more or less reads as a pamphlet to get people to not fear nuclear power. So after reading this, you need to do just as much if not more research to see if everything Rhodes says isn't straight propaganda for the industry; which at times it comes off as.

I'll admit, after watching Chernobyl, and living near TMI; I wanted to learn more about the incidents and nuclear energy as a whole. This was clearly not the book for that. While there is some history and some context, this more or less reads as a "rah rah rah" for the nuclear industry. And, sadly, since it came out in 1993, it feels quite dated as well. ( )
