“The dream of a breezy summer’s day powering our modern world is just that — a dream.”
Tim Gregory is a nuclear scientist and fierce advocate for atomic power as the backbone of a sustainable future. As a nuclear chemist at the UK’s National Nuclear Laboratory, he moves beyond lab walls to make passionate, data-rich arguments in his book Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World.
In Going Nuclear, Gregory dismantles myths about nuclear fear, waste, and cost — arguing that hesitance toward nuclear energy is often rooted in cultural “radiophobia” rather than reasoned assessment. He frames nuclear not merely as a component of net zero but as a moral imperative to support global prosperity and energy equity. His message is clear: clean energy without nuclear is neither feasible nor fair to developing nations.
“A master class in nuclear science, technology, economics and history.” — Wall Street Journal review
