In "Nuclear Peril" Congressman Ed Markey presents a fast-paced and dramatic account of his attempts to block the shipment of 38 tons of uranium to the Tarapur reactor in India. This is a minute-by-minute report on the Congressional debate, the hearings of the Foreign Relations Committee, the intense lobbying efforts from the White House and the State Department. Despite India's refusal to comply with international controls, the Carter Administration approved the shipment rather than risk diplomatic tension with New Delhi. Congress failed by two votes to stop the shipment. Markey seriously questions our foreign policy decision-making process, addressing the larger failure of the international community to halt the spread of nuclear materials. He discusses the weaknesses of international safeguards, the future of nonproliferation efforts under Reagan, and the skeptical reactions to these efforts from the Third World. Most importantly, he explodes the myth that supplying nuclear power to other nations is not the same as spreading nuclear bombs.

Marshaling a great deal of new information in a highly readable manner, the author explains the reasons for the dramatic expansion of arms sales during the past decade and clearly traces such trends as the rise in sophistication of weapons being sold so as to include the most advanced technologies, and the shift in sales to unstable parts of the Third World. Originally published in 1982.

The promise and peril of nuclear power have been a preoccupation of the modern age. Though the nuclear industry has witnessed periods of expansion and retrenchment, there are now more than one hundred nuclear reactors providing America with almost a quarter of its electrical power. Robert Duffy now examines the politics of nuclear power over the last fifty years, relating broad trends in American politics to changes in the regulation of the nuclear industry to show how federal policies in this area have been made, implemented, and altered. He weaves a discussion of institutional change in all three branches of government into a study of agenda-setting, regulatory reform, and "subgovernment" politics, demonstrating how these forces combined to create policy change in this important area of public policy. Duffy's work traces nuclear politics from the creation of a powerful subgovernment through the public lobby reforms of the late 1960s and early 1970s and the deregulatory backlash of the Reagan years. He demonstrates that while policies did change in the 1970s, they did not change as much as other accounts have suggested, and that the industry continued to receive considerable federal support. The book is particularly significant for extending the discussion of nuclear policy through the Bush and Clinton years, including the controversy over waste disposal, new licensing procedures enacted in the 1992 Amendments to the Atomic Energy Act, and the effects of deregulation of electric utilities. By providing both a description of the transformation of this policy community and an analysis of how regulatory change occurs, Nuclear Politics in America offers a new and important view of policymaking in America.
