About the Author
Jeff Bailey writes nuclear terrorist novels for a reason. He worked in nuclear related technologies of one description or another for forty-five years. In 1967, his first assignment for the U.S. Army at nineteen years old was to repair and maintain the part of the nation's nuclear weapons arsenal at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. In 2012, He retired from the science staff of a national laboratory, after seventeen years. In the years in between, he built, initially started, or operated a variety of nuclear power and research reactors.While he heavily infuses his nuclear resume into his stories, he bases the stories themselves on true events from everyday news items. He based his most recent fiction release, The Defect, on the actual events surrounding the meltdown and destruction of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station in Pennsylvania and on the lone gunman attack on Watts Barr Nuclear Power Station in Tennessee. The Wikipedia account of Three Mile Island says that the failure of an air pilot valve contributed to the accident. In The Defect, the defective air pilot valve is the hero.Welcome to my world.
