Abstract:
Half the total electrical energy required by the USA is derived from coal. Emissions from this energy source cause the premature deaths of thousands of people each year plus medical costs, along with substantial environmental damage.

Of all energy sources examined, nuclear alone can reliably meet the demand without harm to the populace or environment.

The objective of this book is to present a factual description of those aspects of nuclear energy, which have received much ignorant and unfounded criticism from anti-nuclear advocates. By this means it is hoped to enable the public to make an accurate judgment.
