Nuclear Energy /Political Science ATOM'S EVE: ENDING THE NUCLEAR AGE An Anthology Compiled and edited by Mark Reader with Ronald Hardert and Gerald L. Moulton In the aftermath of Three Mile Island, increasing numbers of Americans are coming to the realization that nuclear power is not a viable option. The dangers of so-called peaceful uses of atomic energy present incredible hazards to human life. Nuclear power can destroy not only our health and the ecological balance of our planet, it can also destroy our social fabric and our liberty. Nuclear power will force us to construct a civilization which we can neither sustain nor endure. In this volume over forty experts and advocates examine the implications of the nuclear fuel cycle and its hazards to critical human issues. They address such matters as the link between cancer and low level radiation, the failure to find reliable ways to dispose of radioactive wastes, known genetic effects of radiation, the political repression necessary to maintain a nuclear society, and all the other politics and controversies in the growing movement against nuclear power. Included are a checklist of energy alternatives and organizations, a calendar of major nuclear events from 1945 to the present, and a nuclear bibliography of books and audiovisual material. MARK READER, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Political Science at Arizona State University and has published extensively on nuclear issues. RON HARDERT, Ph. D., is Associate Professor of Sociology at Arizona State University. GERALD L. MOULTON, Ed. D., is Professor of Education at Arizona State University.
