The author reviews his 50-year career as an engineer in the US nuclear power industry. He describes his student years, his first exposure to nuclear power at the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, his work in developing boiling water reactors in the 1960s, his involvement in engineering management and general management at General Electric, and his work as a consultant. The author remains supportive of nuclear power but does identify some critical issues and lessons learned. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
