Nuclear Power
written by David Stern
An introduction to nuclear fission, its controlled release in power stations, problems of nuclear waste, and nuclear accidents.  A linked web page discusses nuclear weapons, their effect, their ban, and "dirty bombs". This material supplements a previous section on fission in the Sun and the curve of binding energy in "From Stargazers to Starships". A French translation also exists.
