1 comments about Nuclear Power and the Spread of Nuclear Weapons: Can We Have One without the Other?.

1. Leventhal summarises a workshop in 2001 that argued whether nuclear proliferation and nuclear power were separable. The book has strong, articulate arguments for and against this claim. Whatever your current views on this issue, you might profitably gain by reading the book. It does not present straw dummies on one side.
   
   Overall, it seems from the book that there is at least a weak, causal connection between proliferation and power. Some countries can indeed use the public claim of installing nuclear power plants to aid in the clandestine assemblage of fissile material and weapons. Or, perhaps, without even going so far, to build out a physical and human infrastructure, to enable a later rapid breakout if the need is perceived to arise.

4 comments about Cover Up: What You Are Not Supposed to Know About Nuclear Power.

1. I can't remember the last time I read a book with so little content



2. The book is a must have for anyone who wants to know how we got into the mess called nuclear power and just how bad things are. FULL OF CONTENT, the book has document after document testifying to accidents, stupidity, and obfuscation by the nuclear priesthood. It's well written, well organized, and illustrated. Get this book, read it, and weep; then call your member of Congress.



3. If you ever wondered why we hear about the dangers of everything BUT nuclear power, this book is a good start. Nuclear power is the most arrogant, short-sighted idea in existence. Because of stupid decisions over the last 50 years, we now have to live with 50,000 years of radioactive waste. After you read it, weep, and call your elected official as the review below suggests, aplogize to your children for this leaving them this legacy.



4. This book does not make any reasonable arguements. Nor does it support it claims. I implore you not to purchase this book. It really is not good. Though, If you wish to read a bunch of fabrication, be my guest and buy this book. It is really quite absurd, the ideas that are pushed in this book.

2 comments about Tritium on Ice: The Dangerous New Alliance of Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Power.

1. Someone wishing to make a hydrogen bomb needs to obtain some tritium. At the present time, tritium in suitable quantities can only be obtained in the U.S. through the highly guarded nuclear weapons program. In this extraordinarily well written book, Bergeron calls attention to a little-known 1998 decision by then energy secretary Bill Richardson which, when implemented, would shift tritium production to the commercial side of the nuclear industry. One purpose of the great wall that used to separate nuclear power from nuclear weapons was minimizing the chance that third-world countries like Libya could obtain the ingredients to make A-bombs and even the more powerful h-bombs. Bergeron, a nuclear insider, leads his readers through the dark corners and hallways of the nuclear power and nuclear weapons industries. He shows how the great wall would be breached by implementation of this decision. The story is captivating. Bergeron tells it very well. The problem is real. And Bergeron points out that there's still time to do something about it. With the end of the Cold War, the US doesn't need more tritium any time soon.



2. This is a compelling, timely and informative work by a knowledgable insider. Kenneth Bergeron explains in this clear, concise narrative the inner workings of our nuclear establishment and why civilian and military uses had been historically kept separate. A policy that is even more important today. He documents the complex and disturbing process that culminated in a 1998 decision to abandon this vital policy and the underlying factors that subordinated the public interest. This is a "must read" work that will move readers to add their voices to those seeking to reverse a dangerous decision before it is too late.

1. Jane Dawson is a wonderful Professor and also writer. She explains issues is a very clear manner and at the same time makes it interesting to read. She has personal experience in the Former USSR and she also was able to get access to information that normally isn't released. This book was one of my texts in an environmental class. It was the best class and the book open up a new area of Poli. Sci. and the Environment that isn't expolored much. It's a must have book.
