概要 | For decades, the American West's rugged beauty has veiled its use as a nuclear weapons testing site. Now, another crisis looms over this region: its use as a dumping ground for tons of poisonous nucle...r waste. Culture, power, politics, and environmental concerns collide in this controversial and timely book, as Valerie L. Kuletz outlines the consequences of nuclearism -- which is now surfacing for the first time in fifty years -- and documents the past, present, and future nuclear legacies of the United States and the world.In frightening detail, The Tainted Desert sheds light on the tragic consequences that the Cold War arms race and thoughtless nuclear energy policy have had on the U.S. inter-desert region and its inhabitants. The author focuses on Yucca Mountain in Nevada, the proposed national repository for nuclear waste. As thousands of tons of high-level nuclear waste moves thorough America's communities, the nuclear waste crisis will no longer be invisible. For decades, the Nevada desert's rugged beauty has veiled its use as a nuclear weapons testing site. Now another crisis looms over the Yucca Mountains--their consideration as the proposed national repository for nuclear waste. Kuletz combines scientific data with interviews with scientists and local Native Americans to shed light on this global controversy. Photos/illustrations.続きを見る |
