display_description
"Nuclear energy was embraced across the globe at the height of the nuclear industry in the 1960s and 1970s; today, there are 440 nuclear reactors operating throughout the world, with nuclear power providing 10 percent of world electricity. Yet as the world seeks to reduce carbon emissions to combat climate change, the question arises: just how safe is nuclear energy? [This book] recounts the dramatic history of nuclear accidents that have dogged the industry in its military and civil incarnations since the 1950s"--
