I'm currently reading Todd Tucker's book, "Atomic America" which hit the book stores just a few weeks ago. This is well written and facinating. Much of it covers the SL-1 reactor accident that killed three workers in Idaho back in early 1961. It also ties this in to the development of the Nuclear Navy lead by Ad. Hyman G. Rickover. I am facinated by this man and his drive. He was like the J. Edgar Hoover of the Navy except he didn't have the shady background.
For all you techie readers, I give this one a big thumbs-up.
