While concern about climate change has led some environmentalists to embrace renewable energy sources like wind and solar, others have expressed a renewed interest in nuclear power as an alternative source of carbon-neutral energy. But can humanity handle the risks involved? In Fallout, Fred Pearce uncovers the environmental and psychological landscapes created since the dropping of the first atomic bomb. Traveling from Nevada to Japan to the UK to secret sites of the old Soviet Union, he explores first the landscapes transformed by uranium and by nuclear accidents--sites both well-known and little known. He then examines in detail the toxic legacies of nuclear technology, the emerging dilemmas over handling its waste, the decommissioning of the great radioactive structures of the nuclear age, and the fearful doublethink over our growing stockpiles of plutonium, the most lethal and ubiquitous product of nuclear technologies. How, Pearce asks, has the nuclear experience has changed us? Is nuclear technology indeed the existential threat it sometimes appears? Should we be burdening future generations with radioactive waste that will be deadly for thousands of years? Fallout is the definitive look at humanity's nuclear adventure, for any reader who craves a clear-headed examination of the tangled relationship between a powerful technology and human politics, foibles, fears, and arrogance"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000859634 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000859634 650_0 $$aRadioactive pollution. 000859634 650_0 $$aNuclear accidents. 000859634 650_0 $$aNuclear industry. 000859634 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPearce, Fred.$$tFallout.$$dBoston : Beacon Press, 2018$$z9780807092491$$w(DLC) 2017039844 000859634 852__ $$bcoll 000859634 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000859634 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1533878$$zOnline Access 000859634 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:859634$$pGLOBAL_SET 000859634 980__ $$aEBOOK 000859634 980__ $$aBIB 000859634 982__ $$aEbook 000859634 983__ $$aOnline 000859634 994__ $$a92$$bISE
