Radiation and Reason
By Professor Wade Allison, University of Oxford

	“I very much agree with the conclusions of this book, and am very pleased to see them presented in a style that makes them accessible to the general reader.”
- Sir Eric Ash, FRS

“If Professor Allison’s well-documented arguments are right – and if people can be persuaded to examine them! – his book gives us a little more hope of confronting the problems posed by both dwindling fossil fuel reserves and the release of their waste products into the atmosphere.
- Michael Frayn, author and playwright


Wade Allison takes a fresh look at the science hidden from open discussion behind the nuclear door that has long been barred and bolted in the name of safety. The book is a popular but professional scientific explanation of what nuclear can do for the environment – and why its effect on human life has been so misjudged in the past.

The case for a complete change in attitude towards radiation safety is unrelated to the effects of climate change. But the realisation that radiation and nuclear energy are much safer than is usually supposed is of extreme importance to the current discussion of alternatives to fossil fuels and their relative costs.

Speaking about why he has now decided to challenge the status quo, Wade Allison says, 

“This book is an expedition into the ‘no-go’ area of radiation and nuclear physics. The reader who joins this expedition need bring no special scientific skills, just an open mind and a readiness to think in the light of the evidence. I have no axe to grind, I have no links with the nuclear industry, I just want to see the truth out there for the benefit of the environment. So many people have been under a misapprehension for so long.”
	

Climate change is no idle threat, and no other book aimed at a wide audience has asked significant questions about radiation and why there is apprehension of the nuclear option as an alternative to fossil fuels.
