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 intriguing science, each account reveals new
aspects of humanity's complex relationship with nuclear power and the ongoing
struggle to harness and control it.
From the pioneers of Los Alamos who got up close and personal with the cores
of atomic bombs, to the hapless engineers in Soviet fuel-processing plants who
unwittingly mixed up a disaster in a bucket, and from the terrifying impact of
a tsunami at Fukushima to the mystery of the recent Russian incident, Meltdown
explores the past and future of this extraordinary and potentially lethal
source of infinite power.
