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.
