Proving the Principle: A History of the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, 1949-1999

The Idaho Lab's research directly resulted in, among many other things, nuclear reactors producing electricity and nuclear propulsion of subs and carriers. There was even a nuclear powered aircraft project which fortunately never flew. The coverage of the fatal reactor accident is brief and doesn't speculate on the cause much beyond the official enquiries. --starkraven, Amazon Review
