Description: From the secret laboratories beneath a Chicago squash court to the sleek submarines patrolling today's oceans, this sweeping history traces the extraordinary journey of fission technology across eight decades. Readers will explore the pivotal figures, engineering breakthroughs, and hard lessons learned from Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima, alongside the quieter revolution of civilian power generation and naval propulsion. Looking forward, the book examines small modular reactors, Generation IV designs, and the role fission may play in confronting climate change. A clear-eyed, comprehensive guide to one of the most consequential—and contested—technologies of our age.
