America's nuclear wastelands

About this book

"In recent years, the Department of Energy has expended billions in radioactive cleanup activities, reducing risks to its workers and the public, securing critical nuclear materials, and closing three large weapons complexes and a number of smaller ones. Yet many problems remain. Max S. Power presents an overview of these issues, including the history of the Cold War arms production, and the political and institutional dynamics of today's cleanup efforts."--Jacket.
