Nuclear Fire!

Prometheus Unbound

By: Chris Lawrence

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Nuclear Fire is a series of related even connected short stories that leads the reader through some of the most horrendous nuclear events of the past 100 years. From the development of nuclear weapons under The Manhattan Project, through the creation of reactors, to nuclear fires and core meltdowns, it takes you through plausible reasons why they happened and the implications of human greed and errors in the design, construction, and operation of both weapons reactors and commercial power reactors. Yet through it all with only one exception, the Chernobyl disaster, fewer people have died from radiation exposure than from almost any other life risks, including War, Disease, Driving, Climate Change, and Terrorist Attacks. You decide whether your fears are rationale, or irrational and disordered! This book shows that they probably are out of order. We do not fear the familiar, yet we do fear the unfamiliar. So, we die by the millions in cars worldwide every year, and yet fear power plants. This impaired logic of fear distorts our thinking and leads us to irrational emotional, rather than rationale logical conclusions.
