a history of nuclear meltdowns and disasters : from the Ozark Mountains to Fukushima
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.
