Zusammenfassung:Mahaffey unearths lost reactors on far-flung islands and finds trees that were exposed to active fission ... which then changed gender or bloomed in the dead of winter. He explains why we have nuclear submarines but not nuclear aircraft and why cold fusion does not ... and cannot ... exist. And who knew that radiation-counting was once a fashionable trend? Though parts of our nuclear history might seem like fiction ... such as when cowboys got their hands on a reactor ... Mahaffey's prose holds the reader in thrall of the energy of scientific curiosity and ingenuity that may hold the key to solving our energy crisis ... or even send us to Mars
