Regarding nuclear power - while it is slightly outside the SF realm, you might find my site interesting, as it provides a novel in episodic form which looks at the US nuclear industry and the response to an accident. Since I've worked in nuke power for over twenty years, I have insider knowledge of the topic. The book is free to readers - who seem to like it, judging from their comments at the homepage. http://RadDecision.blogspot.com
