Hi all,
I just finished reading an article, "The Fallout", by Evan Osnos, from the October 17 issue of The New Yorker. It deals with the nuclear accident at the Fukushima power plant in the aftermath of the tsunami that struck Japan earlier this year. The article is well-researched, balanced, and thoughtful, really excellent, and discusses as well, earlier nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. It may be difficult to find the issue the article was in at this point, but I believe everything the New Yorker publishes is available on-line. This article is very much worth seeking out and contains a lot of information to consider in charting our approach to satisfying society's needs for electric power now and in the future.
All best,
Johnm
