Actually I see issue 1, 2, 4 as more relevant issues on the practicality of nuclear power. But as you want more about human issues, a classic work is Normal Accidents: Living with High-Risk Technologies by Charles Perrow. The book shows that any complex system is likely to fail due to its inherent complexity, and due to the external social organization. Worth reading.

- tempguy9999 7y agoExcellent, will check it out, thank! Actually just looked at the wiki page, that's enough for me to order it today. In return may I offer this absolutely bitchin' tome Safeware by Nancy Leveson https://www.amazon.co.uk/Safeware-System-Safety-Computers-19/dp/0201119722/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Safeware-System-Safety-Computers-19... which I can't recommend enough. It's aimed at a lower level than your book AFAICT (lower level = less about interconnectedness of large systems) but it's a must read.
