About
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app
Walker, historian at the NRC, provides a history of the government's efforts to store radioactive waste safely. He documents the Atomic Energy Commission's actions from the Manhattan Project (1942-46) to the 1987 designation of Yucca Mountain as a repository. The Obama administration's decision to construct new nuclear power plants makes this a timely publication.
