- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5At present, generating electricity by nuclear power is an extremely competitive business. Despite this, many utilities generously support the exchange of information and personnel. - sort of like open source, only different.This book is an interesting read for outsiders and a good history review for insiders.
