Informative, relevant, understandable. Will read it again and look for a newer addition as well. I did feel that some parts were redundant, but I think that can be attributed to the organization of the information. Even for those that don't need this information for their job, I would recommend reading it. There is so much misconception or just plain lack of information about hazardous wastes and nuclear energy; I wish they taught a small slice of this to kids in high schools these days, perhaps we could make some advances in future generations that aren't riddled with unwarranted fear.

WHAT?! No trivia questions about this book. whatever.
