Description

This comprehensive historical analysis examines the development of civilian nuclear power in the United States from 1946 to 1974, a period when the nation invested over USD200 billion in nuclear energy technology. The book provides critical insight into one of history's largest technological ventures, exploring how scientific advancement, political decision-making, and public controversy shaped America's nuclear future. By 1977, the U.S. had 232 nuclear power plants either operational or planned, representing an estimated generating capacity of 321 million kilowatts. The work contextualises this massive industrial effort within the broader energy landscape, examining nuclear power's promise as fossil fuels became scarcer and more expensive. Essential reading for historians, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand how technological ambition, political ideology, and societal concerns intersected in post-war American energy policy.
