* ''[http://raddecision.blogspot.com/ Rad Decision]'' (free online read), a technically-accurate techno-thriller "written by an engineer with over twenty years of experience in the American nuclear industry." (Posted August, 2005)
 
* ''[[wikipedia:The China Syndrome|The China Syndrome]]'': 1979 movie that represents a large part of most people's knowledge of nuclear power ([[wikipedia:Chernobyl disaster|Chernobyl]] being much of the remainder)
 
==Notes==
 
Personally, I'd be very interested in seeing a new approach to nuclear power plant management using information-age tools, and the "[[many eyes make all bugs shallow]]" approach: webcams on every console, doorway, and access point; publicly-accessible telemetry data; a wiki and blogs maintained by plant workers; chat rooms for workers to let off steam (or mention their worries) during lunch breaks (with convenient computer terminals in the snack rooms); cooperative ownership of the plant, with residents within "fallout" range automatically given priority in voting; and so on. Only in this way can we be sure that safety issues will not be shoved under the carpet, as is apparently being done at Shearon-Harris, our friendly neighborhood nuclear plant here in North Carolina. More nuclear plants without these tools will be business as usual; a nuclear plant with these tools might have a chance to actually be a positive thing. --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 19:24, 5 October 2006 (EDT)
