Title: Nuclear is Not the Solution
Subtitle: The Folly of Atomic Power in the Age of Climate Change
Description: Masterful and concise. Well referenced and written by someone who is both a technical domain expert and political-economy and geopolitically savvy.

M. V. Ramana’s powerful book destroys any illusion that nuclear is our answer to climage change, untangling technical arguments into simple and sensible language. Importantly, Nuclear Is Not the Solution also unmasks the powerful groups with vested interests in the maintenance of the status quo, currently working hard to greenwash a spectacularly dirty industry.

> **This book is smart, terrifying, and indispensable. In lucid prose, Ramana cuts through the hype surrounding gen iv, modular, and other reactor designs that are squandering billions of dollars. Atomic energy is costly, dirty, dangerous, and not the solution to anything other than building bombs and contaminating the earth for millions of years.**
 — Thomas A. Bass author of *Return to Fukushima*
