Fukishima, The Story of a Nuclear Disaster by David Lochbaum

rayw94's review

3.0

First half of the book was awesome. Like a shot for shot story of what happened at Fukishima. However, I felt the book, for being about a Japanese nuclear accident, was way too focused on US nuclear policy. I think it was relevant in some instances to discuss US policy (3 Mile Island, for example), but the latter half of the book only talked about how US nuclear policy has been ignoring what the science says for years. This book was not really about Fukishima. It was about anti-nuclear sentiment, which I can totally understand, but it was not about a Japanese nuclear disaster.
