Fukushima: The Story of a Nuclear Disaster
by Susan Q. Stranahan, David Lochbaum, Edwin Lyman
dark
informative
medium-paced
Usually, when I read a disaster book, I spend a lot of time shaking my head in disbelief of decisions that were made that contributed to the disaster. I know they were not expecting a huge earthquake and a huge tsunami, but some of the decisions that were made caused this nuclear disaster to be so much worse than it might have been. I have watched a few documentaries and read several articles about Fukishima and the pollution and devastation for the people living in the surrounding area, and this book was very eye opening. It made me extremely uncomfortable, as I live in between two nuclear plants. There is one 20ish miles to the north of me and 20ish miles to the south. I wonder how much radiation we are actually exposed to and how many things they cover up at these plants that the public should know about. What poor decisions are they making that could result in something like this or another Chernobyl level incident. I shudder to think.
