Nuclear energy leaves behind an infinitely dangerous legacy of radioactive wastes in places that are remote and polluted landscapes of risk. Four of these places - Hanford (USA) where the plutonium for the first atomic bombs was made, Sellafield, where the UK’s nuclear legacy is concentrated, controversial La Hague the heart of the French nuclear industry, and Gorleben, the focal point of nuclear resistance in Germany - provide the narratives for this unique account of the legacy of nuclear power. |

THE BURNING ANSWER
A User's Guide to the Solar Revolution by Keith Barnham
Barnham answers the burning question of our age: how to supply the power our society demands while avoiding environmental catastrophe. The threat of global warming, oil depletion and nuclear disaster is ever-present. There is a growing risk of environmental damage from fracking and shale-oil extraction, deforestation and drilling for fossil fuels in sensitive environments. |

The Lean Guide to Nuclear Energy
A Life-Cycle in Trouble by David Fleming
The policy argument is familiar: we have an energy problem - oil, gas and coal are all in trouble in their different ways. Therefore we must use nuclear energy, there is no alternative. But the argument and its conclusion do not join up. The fact that the alternatives are in trouble does not tell us anything about whether nuclear energy is the solution. And in fact, nuclear energy is in the biggest trouble of all.

The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2014
The world's nuclear statistics are distorted by an anomaly whose cause is not technical but political. Three years after the Fukushima events started unfolding on 11 March 2011, government, industry and international institutional organizations continue to misrepresent the effects of the disaster on the Japanese nuclear program. To find a more appropriate way to deal with this situation, the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2014 proposes a new category called Long-Term Outage.

Costs, Risks, and Myths of Nuclear Power
Edited by Ray Acheson. Published by Reaching Critical Will, a project of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom

It was released on 11 September 2011, six months after the disaster at Fukushima and in advance of the high-level meeting on nuclear safety and security that UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon convened at the United Nations. |
Wings of Death: Nuclear Pollution and Human Health
by Chris Busby
Wings of Death is a powerfully written attack on the rigidity of scientific culture - the first chapter is entitled "The Emperor's New Clothes". More specifically it attacks the culture of the transnational radiation protection community and the conventional model of radiation biology. |

Evidence of significant enriched uranium atomic fuel contamination of the Hinkley Point proposed nuclear site in Somerset and its potential implications by Chris Busby & Cecily Collingridge, 2011.
|
In this report for Green Audit, analysis is presented showing the presence of enriched uranium contamination on the site proposed for the new nuclear reactors. Examining gamma spectroscopy radioactivity data tables that formed part of the Environment Impact Statement EIS supplied by EDF Energy, it was possible to show that the 2square kilometer site contained approximately 10 tonnes of enriched uranium reactor fuel.
