Yet as the world seeks to reduce carbon emissions to combat climate change, the question arises: Just how safe is nuclear energy?Atoms and Ashes recounts the dramatic history of nuclear accidents that have dogged the industry in its military and civil incarnations since the 1950s. Through the stories of six terrifying major incidents―Bikini Atoll, Kyshtym, Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima―Cold War expert Serhii Plokhy explores the risks of nuclear power, both for military and peaceful purposes, while offering a vivid account of how individuals and governments make decisions under extraordinary circumstances. Atoms and Ashes provides a crucial perspective on the most dangerous nuclear disasters of the past, in order to safeguard our future. "Absolutely stunning. Atoms and Ashes is a formidable achievement…Plokhy has written a six-part historical thriller that is essential reading for both our politicians and the ordinary citizen." "[A] frightening new history of nuclear disasters across the world….With catastrophic climate change bearing down on us, nuclear power has been promoted by some as an obvious solution, but this sobering history urges us to look hard at that bargain for what it is." "[An] enthralling study of the atomic age and its perils…. meticulously researched history … [and] also a timely read."
