Nuclear Power Plants as Weapons for the Enemy: An Unrecognized Military Peril (Studies in International and Strategic Affairs) - Softcover
Synopsis
In this book, Bennett Ramberg explains clearly, for both lay and technical communities, the vulnerabilities of different sorts of nuclear facilities and lists reasons why they are likely to be destroyed in war. In a case-by-case analysis of countries using or building nuclear power plants, Dr. Ramberg shows that the safety of thousands could depend on such volatile factors as the psychological sensitivity of national leaders and the direction of the wind. A combination of engineering changes, civil defense, use of alternative energy, and changes in international law could lessen these risks, but until the danger is recognized, change is unlikely.
