Description:

"Nuclear Choices" aims to provide students who have no particular background in science with a sense of the many issues surrounding nuclear power, nuclear weapons, nuclear medicine, and other uses of technology. The text is designed for subsidiary courses on nuclear issues. Throughout the book, technological questions are integrated with their implications for public policy, environmental protection, arms control and other international issues, and the relation between nuclear power and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The text is based on a course the author taught for three years at Middlebury College. The book examines nuclear issues that have appeared in recent news media. Each chapter has a summary reviewing the main topics and restating both sides of any significant controversies, and each also has a glossary of technical terms and acronyms.
