Rad Decision - James Aach
A technothriller about a looming disaster at a nuclear power plant, written by an engineer with over twenty years of experience in the American nuclear industry
Rad Decision: A Novel Of Nuclear Power tells the story of the people and machinery that make up a nuclear power plant, and the dark tale of a man who believes it is his destiny to destroy it. Written by an engineer with over twenty years experience in the American nuclear industry, Rad Decision includes an overview of how electricity is made and a step-by-step, inside look at how a nuclear plant operates - - from its equipment to its people to the politics and money behind it. Chernobyl, TMI and the wonderful world of radiation are also discussed. Armed with this background, the reader plunges into a nuclear accident in the making.
“I’d like to see Rad Decision widely read.” Stewart Brand, noted futurist and founder of The Whole Earth Catalog.
