Confessions of a Rogue Nuclear Regulator,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A shocking expos from the most powerful insider in nuclear regulation about how the nuclear energy industry endangers our livesand why Congress does nothing to stop it.Gregory Jaczko had never heard of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission when he arrived in Washington like a modernday Mr. Smith. But, thanks to the determination of a powerful senator, he would soon find himself at the agencys helm. A Birkenstockswearing physics PhD, Jaczko was unlike any chairman the agency had ever seen: he was driven by a passion for technology and a concern for public safety, with no ties to the industry and no agenda other than to ensure that his agency made the world a safer place.And so Jaczko witnessed what outsiders like him were never meant to seean agency overpowered by the industry it was meant to regulate and a political system determined to keep it that way. After an emergency trip to Japan to help oversee the frantic response to the horrifying nuclear disaster at Fukushima in 2011, and witnessing the American nuclear industrys refusal to make the changes he considered necessary to prevent an equally catastrophic event from occurring here, Jaczko started saying aloud what no one else had dared.Confessions of a Rogue Nuclear Regulator is a wakeup call to the dangers of lobbying, the importance of governmental regulation, and the failures of congressional oversight. But it is also a classic tale of an idealist on a mission whose misadventures in Washington are astounding, absurd, and sometimes even funnyand Jaczko tells the story with humor, selfdeprecation, and, yes, occasional bursts of outrage. Above all, Confessions of a Rogue Nuclear Regulator is a tale of confronting the truth about one of the most pressing public safety and environmental issues of our time: nuclear power will never be safe.
