Leadership in Nuclear Power

[thanate]

One of the things I've been poking at instead of other things (books post from July, the master naturalist project I'm supposed to be doing, writing anything...) is the proto-work for my father's website. Most of it you can still not go look at, but we've finally ironed out *most* of the weird formatting issues from the Leadership in Nuclear Power essay. (The exception being that the PDF was crooked and some of the images remain so until we get around to rescanning them.)

This essay is a study in tactful speaking around the proverbial elephant. For those not conversant with the context of the 1970s submarine fleet, your first search term is "Admiral Rickover." Also interesting to note is that all the major nuclear disasters people have heard of occurred after this piece was published; this is "nuclear safety" without Three Mile Island and Chernobyl hanging over its head.

ETA: If you happen to have a copy of The Hunt for Red October handy, take a look at the dedication page. This essay is what that refers to. (There's more to the story than that, but I'm still looking for where/if it got written down.)

Very interesting, even without knowing the full context. I look forward to seeing more of his writing.
