Going Nuclear
Mabon ap Gwynfor, self-published, £13

Going Nuclear by Plaid Cymru’s Senedd Member Mabon ap is a detailed examination of the links between the civil nuclear industry and how it subsidises and sustains Britain’s military nuclear capability.

The author lives in north Wales and is also the newly elected chair of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament Cymru. 

Curently, in the the world’s difficult journey to net zero, protagonists for nuclear energy argue that we need it in the energy mix for those days when the sun is not shining and the wind refuses to blow.
