About the Author

The author, Jan Forsythe, is a professor for the Florida Institute of Technology, teaching graduate courses in engineering management and systems engineering.  Based on technical, scientific, and economic facts, her book is unique—a comprehensive story of nuclear power not heretofore told.  Topics discussed include: “ABCs” of nuclear energy; experiences of the U. S. Navy and France in embracing nuclear power; history, current status, and future concepts; spent fuel recycling and final waste disposition; investments and operating costs; methodology and analysis, including tangible and intangible factors.  Professor Forsythe analyzes the economics of nuclear power vs. coal, gas, and renewable energy sources to produce electricity.  She reviews the data, evaluates the information, and presents a positive vision for nuclear power in the United States.
