"Craig Miner's thorough study of Wolf Creek Station follows the controversy over the building and operation of the only nuclear power plant in Kansas and one of the last to be built in the U.S. Using as resources the archives of the Kansas Gas and Electric Company as well as government and newspaper stories, Miner chronicles the monumental struggle played out in the heartland over what has become one of the most efficient and trouble-free facilities in the nation. The controversy was intensified due to the national and international events, from the energy crisis of the 1970s to Three Mile Island and Chernobyl in the 1980s..........
