I feel like I should rate this a bit higher than I did, because I did learn something....& that really is always worth another star in rating! And it is a worthy expose....of the politics/frailty/aging/danger of the nuclear energy industry. The title is right on....it's just that politics & science just don't make for overly exciting reading.... The author is a bit of a 'Mr. Smith Goes To Washington' type character/experience.....that probably didn't fare as well as Jimmy Stewart's character in the movie. He paints a scary picture of the danger possibilities in the USA (& world too), with the nuclear industry policing itself.....probably not a good option! He did include an Appendix at the end, attempting to explain how nuclear energy works, that was helpful.....explained using layman's terms, but it's still kind of 'heavy' science! It was interesting, but I'm glad it was a rather short book!
I received an e-ARC from the publisher Simon & Schuster via NetGalley, in return for reading it & offering my own fair & honest review. These are my own opinions.
