John McCarthy - 2005 May: A solid and easily read explanation of nuclear power issues.
A question and answer format is used to address the primary issues of nuclear power. The technical details of nuclear reactors are outlined in easily understood terms, with lots of links to other web pages for details. Weapons proliferation, accidents, and what to do with used once fuel are discussed in very practical terms. The page neglects recent findings about radiation hormesis, which results in some statements about the Chernobyl accident that I disagree with.
Overall, this is one of the best summaries nuclear power that I have read. I highly recommend it.
