This
book
traces
the
efforts
of
policy
makers
to
find
solutions
to
the
complex
issues
for
disposal
of
radioactive
waste
that
has
become
a
source
of
scientific
inquiry,
programmatic
deadlock,
and
public
controversy.
The
author's
focus
is
on
waste
from
the
commercial
applications
of
nuclear
energy,
not
exclusively
from
nuclear
power
plants.
Additionally,
author,
J.
Samuel
Walker,
examines
the
early
history
of
radioactive
waste
disposal
at
government
installations
that
produced
materials
for
nuclear
weapons
within
this
book.

Testimonial
#1:
"An essential work on a complex problem: what to do with radioactive waste? In setting the context on this controversial subject, J. Samuel Walker educates us on how we confront nuclear power as a viable option and its long-range implications."
--Martin Melosi, author ofEnergy Metropolis: An Environmental History of Houston and the Gulf Coast
Testimonial #2
"Samuel Walker's fascinating account details the United States' sixty-year search for radioactive waste solutions. Here scientists, policymakers, politicians, activists, and the public alternately clash and cooperate, and prospects for a solution wane and wax accordingly. In the end, billions of dollars, years of hearings, and miles of tunnels, we're back to square one. "
--Richard Wolfson, author ofNuclear Choices: A Citizen's Guide to Nuclear Technology
Testimonial #3
"Walker's thoughtful and detailed history of the technology and politics of the nuclear waste problem lucidly illustrates why, more than sixty years after the dawn of the atomic age, we have yet to get any of the stuff in the ground safely and effectively, where it belongs. This book should be required reading for everyone, whether politician, bureaucrat, or citizen."
--Ronnie D. Lipschutz, author ofRadioactive Waste: Politics, Technology, and Waste
