nuclear facilities

Investigates the history of nuclear dangers and disasters, from early twentieth-century radioactive cosmetics up to the meltdowns of Chernobyl and Fukushima. Offers the argument that, paradoxically, it is failures such as these that have actually advanced our knowledge of the power of the atom the most, and advocates for continued use and experimentation with nuclear energy.

Examines accidents and risk, the nature of chance and the oppressive weight of secrecy, official lies, and the true cost of atomic energy.

Nuclear power is one of todays growing issues, it is examined in light of how science is changing and bringing new opportunities.
