Most people no longer live in nuclear families at all.

My parents suffered from that ideal of a perfect nuclear family. They found that a difficult pressure, I think.

Nobody has ever before asked the nuclear family to live all by itself in a box the way we do. With no relatives, no support, we've put it in an impossible situation.

I don't think you necessarily have to be part of a traditional nuclear family to be a good mother.

This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.

We now recognize that abuse and neglect may be as frequent in nuclear families as love, protection, and commitment are in nonnuclear families.

I don't design houses with the nuclear family idea because I don't believe in it as a concept.

Combined families often get bad reviews, but the family my children got when they traded away 'the suffocating four-person' nuclear one is one that has benefited all of them.

The whole nuclear thing is a terrible mess and it's hard for me to understand why it is that we, the United States, seem to be the only ones that are really particularly concerned about it and prepared to do something.

Cars let us out of the barn and, while they were at it, destroyed the American nuclear family. As anyone who has had an American nuclear family can tell you, this was a relief to all concerned.
