In response to this threat, the Nuclear Control Institute has assembled a consortium of experts to underscore the connection that exists between nuclear power and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. They evaluated proliferation risks and proposed viable alternative energy sources. This volume includes the analysis of such respected thinkers as Pulitzer Prize–winning author Richard Rhodes; Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.); Amory Lovins, CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute; and Amb. Robert Galucci, dean of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service.

Review
"A scrupulously balanced and fair collection of essays by world-class experts. In a world threatened by both terrorism and global warming, this book will deepen the understanding of policymakers and serious students alike on the tough choices ahead."
"This book presents a wide range of expert views and is the Nuclear Control Institute's latest contribution toward improving safeguards for our nuclear facilities and preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. It should be read by those who desire to evaluate nuclear power's proliferation risks and energy benefits."
"This thoughtful and balanced book frames the debate over nuclear power and its ties to nuclear weapons in a unique and accessible way. It is also a fitting expression of the Nuclear Control Institute's lonely two-decade effort to call attention to issues of terrorism and nuclear security made all too urgent by the events of September 11."
"The events of 9/11 should tell us that preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons to rogue states and terrorists must be our nation's #1 priority. Accordingly, citizens need to be able to scrutinize decisions we make as a nation that have implications for proliferation. One of those is whether to build more nuclear power plants. "Nuclear Power and the Spread of Nuclear Weapons" presents the pros and cons of doing that. The experts who contributed to this book offer a breadth of knowledge and experience that will contribute to a better understanding of the dangers and the ways around them."
"Exposes some dark doubts about whether nuclear industries and governments will ultimately see the light and whether nuclear power use is compatible with world security, but the wide range of expert views and insights, and clearly presented information, will allow the readers to make up their own minds."
