TOM SWIFT and His Antimatter PowerGrid - Thomas Hudson - Bog

The 31st book in this series. Tom Swift and his father are among the best in the world when it comes to designing and building safe and powerful nuclear-based power generators. In fact, Damon Swift became the first ever wholly self-funded, private designer and operator of a nuclear power and research center, the Citadel in New Mexico.Now, Tom is called upon to come up with something so new and radical to create a nearly endless stream of electricity meant to replace several old or even decommissioned nuclear plants in the Pacific Northwest-an area known for its environmentalist and demand for safe energy.He searches for a way to outdo the best of the best, and with his father's help and blessings, sets out to build a better reactor. The problem is, and he discovers this early on, nuclear power may have already hit its upper limits.Is there something he can do that will give the people of Canada, and even Washington, Oregon and parts of Idaho, what they need. Will it be clean and, above all, safe!Will a determined group of underground eco-terrorists manage to destroy what he is building before it has the chance to prove its worth?
