Fyi– Fukushima Fun: There is a book out there that provides an inside description of the people, politics and techology of nuclear power in the US, and features a plant very much like Fukushima, experiencing a similar event. It certainly fits the idea of transforming distant and massive happenings into material more immediate and emotionally comprehensible. The author (me) has worked in the atomic industry over two decades. This thriller novel, “Rad Decision,” has been made available free online (just Google the title) and many readers have found it enlightening. Reviews are at the website (or Amazon). Unfortunately, my media presence consists of this little-known book and website, so I’m not an acknowledged “expert”. I just do the nuclear stuff for a living. My search for a literary agent lead only to a large pile of form letters, so I went online. A book can’t make things more comprehensible if no one has access to it.

Best wishes for the New Year. It is nice of you to have a blog.
