Customer Reviews

a well - researched volume

The nuclear almanac is 545 pages of facts, figures and text encompassing the (1980's) current state of the art in Nuclear Energy Programs. Not just nuclear weapons, the volume also covers reactors, accidents, proliferation, and the history of nuclear energy. All are very well annotated, and written at a high-school level. This would be an excellent reference book for a college student, or writer, or any person interested in nuclear power. My favorite photo is of the fingernails, but you'll have to buy this book to see why they're in there!
