Abstract
  • Nuclear energy information tends to be polarized into two camps: anti-nuclear and industry-sponsored, pro-nuclear materials. There is a need to identify sources on both sides and guide readers and researchers to materials that will lead to independent analysis. The need for nuclear energy information has intensified due to recent energy shortages, dramatic price increases, and a renewed debate on the future role of nuclear energy in supplying power for the electronic revolution of information. This paper is a guide for librarians and information specialists who need to assist patrons in locating and analyzing non-technical information dealing with the origins, history, use, and future role of nuclear energy. It presents a history of nuclear energy with a focus on its impact on library science, followed by a timeline of nuclear energy information and an annotated bibliography of selected works.
