Nuclear Wastelands: A Global Guide to Nuclear Weapons Production and Its Health and Environmental Effects

by Arjun Makhijani

Nuclear Wastelands: A Global Guide to Nuclear Weapons Production and Its Health and Environmental Effects Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A handbook for scholars, students, policy makers, journalists, and peace and environmental activists, Nuclear Wastelands provides concise histories of the development of nuclear weapons programs of every declared and de facto nuclear weapons power. It follows the production process step by step and country by country, from uranium mining to the final assembly and storage of weapons, compiling the most complete information available on the actual health and environmental effects, in each country involved.

Review:



andquot;An astonishing . . . collection of research on nuclear weapons. . . . This voluminous book is a kind of Baedeker of the Bomb. It meticulously gathers together every piece of public information about the nuclear cycle, some of it leaked, some of it dragged out thanks to court cases, some published in specialist commissions but little noticed at the time. No future research into nuclear weapons will be credible unless it refers to this study.andquot;
andmdash;Jonathan Steele, The Guardian
