    “Book Descriptions: Meltdown investigates and recreates the dramatic events behind the most notorious nuclear accidents in history, as well as those shrouded in secrecy.

    Combining human tragedy with revealing explanations, each account describes humanities struggle to harness and control nuclear power. From the pioneers of Los Alamos who got up close and personal with the cores of atomic bombs, to the hapless engineers in a Soviet fuel-processing plant who unwittingly mixed up disaster in a bucket, and from the horrors of Chernobyl to the terrifying impact of a tsunami at Fukushima. Meltdown explores the past and future of this extraordinary and lethal source of near-limitless power.”
