About this product
Product Information
"A gripping, suspenseful page-turner" ( Kirkus Reviews ) with a "fast-paced, detailed narrative that moves like a thriller" ( International Business Times ), Fukushima teams two leading experts from the Union of Concerned Scientists, David Lochbaum and Edwin Lyman, with award-winning journalist Susan Q. Stranahan to give us the first definitive account of the 2011 disaster that led to the worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl. Four years have passed since the day the world watched in horror as an earthquake large enough to shift the Earth's axis by several inches sent a massive tsunami toward the Japanese coast and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, causing the reactors' safety systems to fail and explosions to reduce concrete and steel buildings to rubble. Even as the consequences of the 2011 disaster continue to exact their terrible price on the people of Japan and on the world, Fukushima addresses the grim questions at the heart of the nuclear debate: could a similar catastrophe happen again, and--most important of all--how can such a crisis be averted?

Reviews
"No one with an interest in the present and future of nuclear power in the United States should miss it." — Los Angeles Times "There are other books on Fukushima, but the only one covering this ground is Fukushima , which takes a more global and policy-related approach. Told with economy, drama, and scientific accuracy, this book is a must for anyone involved in energy assessment or concerned about nuclear energy issues." — Library Journal (starred review) "The book is a gripping, suspenseful page-turner finely crafted to appeal both to people familiar with the science and those with only the barest inkling of how nuclear power works." — Kirkus Reviews "As the crisis at Fukushima continues, this exacting and chilling record of epic failures in risk assessment, regulation, preparedness, and transparency will stand as a cautionary analysis of the perils of nuclear power the world over." — Booklist (starred review), "An indispensable reminder of the nuclear power industry's failure to learn from the past." — Los Angeles Times "This exacting and chilling record of epic failures in risk assessment, regulation, preparedness, and transparency will stand as a cautionary analysis of the perils of nuclear power the world over." — Booklist "A vivid picture emerges of utter confusion in the hours and days after the tsunami." — Nature "A riveting and meticulous account of the disaster as it unfolded." — The Japan Times "[An] eye-opening exposé…[that] points to the scary fact that America can suffer a Fukushima-type event if critical steps are not taken." — Publishers Weekly, "No one with an interest in the present and future of nuclear power in the United States should miss it." -- Los Angeles Times "This exacting and chilling record of epic failures in risk assessment, regulation, preparedness, and transparency will stand as a cautionary analysis of the perils of nuclear power the world over." -- Booklist "A vivid picture emerges of utter confusion in the hours and days after the tsunami." -- Nature "A riveting and meticulous account of the disaster as it unfolded." -- The Japan Times "[An] eye-opening expos...[that] points to the scary fact that America can suffer a Fukushima-type event if critical steps are not taken." -- Publishers Weekly, "No one with an interest in the present and future of nuclear power in the United States should miss it." -- Los Angeles Times "This exacting and chilling record of epic failures in risk assessment, regulation, preparedness, and transparency will stand as a cautionary analysis of the perils of nuclear power the world over." -- Booklist "A vivid picture emerges of utter confusion in the hours and days after the tsunami." -- Nature "A riveting and meticulous account of the disaster as it unfolded." -- The Japan Times "[An] eye-opening exposé...[that] points to the scary fact that America can suffer a Fukushima-type event if critical steps are not taken." -- Publishers Weekly, "An indispensable reminder of the nuclear power industry's failure to learn from the past." — Los Angeles Times "This exacting and chilling record of epic failures in risk assessment, regulation, preparedness, and transparency will stand as a cautionary analysis of the perils of nuclear power the world over." — Booklist "A vivid picture emerges of utter confusion in the house and days after the tsunami." — Nature "A riveting and meticulous account of the disaster as it unfolded." — The Japan Times "[An] eye-opening exposé…[that] points to the scary fact that America can suffer a Fukushima-type event if critical steps are not taken." — Publishers Weekly
