Download Fukushima: The Story of a Nuclear Disaster AudioBook Free
On March 11, 2011, an earthquake large enough to knock the earth from its axis dispatched an enormous tsunami speeding toward japan coast and the ageing and vulnerable Fukushima Daiichi nuclear ability reactors. Over the next weeks, the world observed in horror as a natural catastrophe became a man-made catastrophe: fail-safes failed, cooling systems turn off, nuclear rods melted.Inside the first definitive bank account of the Fukushima catastrophe, two leading experts from the Union of Concerned Scientists, David Lochbaum and Edwin Lyman, team up with journalist Susan Q. Stranahan, the lead reporter of the Philadelphia Inquirer's Pulitzer Prizewinning coverage of the Three Mile Island accident, to inform this harrowing tale. Fukushima combines a fast-paced, riveting bank account of the tsunami and the nuclear disaster it made up of a conclusion of the knowledge and technology behind the meltdown as it unfolded instantly. The narrative also extends to other severe nuclear injuries to address both terrifying question of whether it might happen elsewhere and how such an emergency can be averted in the future.
