"Walker's thoughtful and detailed history of the technology and politics of the nuclear waste problem lucidly illustrates why, more than sixty years after the Dawn of the Atomic Age, we have yet to get any of the stuff into the ground safely and effectively, where it belongs. This book should be required reading for everyone, whether politician, bureaucrat or citizen."--Ronnie D. Lipschutz, author of "Radioactive Waste: Politics, Technology and Risk" "Measured, informative, and well-argued, "The Road to Yucca Mountain" is typical Walker. One of the most knowledgeable historians on nuclear power has produced an essential work on a complex problem--What to do with radioactive waste? In setting the context on this controversial subject, Walker educates us on how we confront nuclear power as a viable option and its long-range implications."--Martin Melosi, author of "Energy Metropolis" "Walker's fascinating account details the United States' 60-year search for radioactive waste solutions. Here scientists, policymakers, politicians, activists, and the public alternately clash and cooperate, and prospects for a solution wane and wax accordingly. In the end, after billions of dollars, years of hearings, and miles of tunnels, we're back at square one."--Richard Wolfson, author of "Nuclear Choices: A Citizen's Guide to Nuclear Technology "
