Atomic Energy (Exploring Science and Medical Discoveries)

By: Barbara Kanninen

It was supposed to produce energy too cheap to meter. Could atomic energy live up to this dream? This volume traces the development of atomic energy from the discovery of radioactivity to the building of nuclear power plants. Along the way, mistakes, meltdowns, and radioactive waste have hindered its progress.
