From the moment radiation was discovered in the late nineteenth
century, nuclear science has had a rich history of innovative
scientific exploration and discovery, coupled with mistakes,
accidents, and downright disasters. Mahaffey, a long-time advocate
of continued nuclear research and nuclear energy, looks at each
incident in turn and analyzes what happened and why, often
discovering where scientists went wrong when analyzing past
meltdowns. Every incident has lead to new facets in understanding
about the mighty atom and Mahaffey puts forth what the future
should be for this final frontier of science that still holds so
much promise."
