Nuclear Firsts: Milestones on the Road to Nuclear Power Development

Nuclear Firsts focuses on the large variety of technical steps taken and the multiple technology options pursued in nuclear power plant development. The book covers both U.S. developments and major developments abroad. Author Gail H. Marcus has recently received the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' prestigious Engineer-Historian Award for 2013, given to "outstanding published work or works by an engineer dealing with the history of mechanical engineering," for her book Nuclear Firsts: Milestones on the Road to Nuclear Power Development.
