Reactor: A Global History of Nuclear Power
Nightmares: Volume II, 1958-1993
This is the volume I am deep into at present. The period in question, from 1958 to 1993, is a turbulent one, encompassing both nuclear energy’s ascent to become one of the world’s primary energy sources and the global backlash and downturn after the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl disasters.
As ever, I am keeping an open mind about the true history of this 36-year period and I can’t say what I will uncover. It is possible that even the title might change over the next few years. Nonetheless, I’m happy sharing with you this “placeholder” for the second volume of Reactor: A Global History of Nuclear Power.
