Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I huri anō te mahi a Theodore Taylor i muri i te kaupapa Orion. Ka nui ake te wehi o ia ki ngā pānga pea o te mahi o tōna oranga katoa, ā, ka tīmata ia ki te tango i ngā tikanga ārai hei whakaiti i aua āwangawanga. I te tau 1964 i mahi ia hei kaiwhakahaere tuarua mo te Defense Atomic Support Agency (he peka i roto i te Tari Tiaki), i reira i whakahaerehia ai e ia te raarangi patu karihi a te US. Kātahi, i te tau 1966, ka whakatūria e ia tētahi umanga tohutohu e kiia nei ko te International Research and Technology Corporation, e noho ana i Vienna, Austria, e whai ana ki te ārai i te whanaketanga o ētahi atu hōtaka patu karihi. I mahi ano a Taylor hei kaiwhakaako manuhiri i te Whare Wananga o California, Santa Cruz me te Whare Wananga o Princeton. I te mutunga ka huri tana aro ki te kaha whakahou, a i te tau 1980 ka tiimata e Taylor tetahi kamupene i huaina ko Nova Incorporated, i arotahi ki nga whiringa kaha karihi hei huarahi hei taapiri i nga hiahia kaha o te whenua. I ako ia i te kohikohi pūngao mai i ngā pūtake pēnei i te mātao i ngā roto hukapapa me te whakawera i ngā roto solar, ā, i te mutunga ka tahuri ki te tiaki pūngao i roto i ngā whare. Mo tenei mahi ki te tiaki pūngao, i whakatūria e ia he whakahaere kore-whai-whai i Montgomery County, Maryland e kiia nei ko Damascus Energy, e arotahi ana ki te kaha o te pūngao i roto i te kāinga. I mahi hoki a Theodore Taylor ki te komihana a te Perehitini o te United States e pā ana ki te
Three Mile Island Accident, e mahi ana ki te whakaiti i ngā take e pā ana ki te whakakorenga o te pūkaha.
