- Synopsis
- This is a book about nuclear energy both for electric power production and for bombs. In particular, it focuses on the dangers of a single person or small group obtaining the materials (most likely from some part of the nuclear power production system) to produce a bomb. The level of worry about this possibility come mainly from a particular nuclear physicist, Ted Taylor. But the sources for this book range far and wide over both the history and people involved in both nuclear bomb making and nuclear power production.
