Science with a Skew: The Nuclear Power Industry After Chernobyl and Fukushima

A wonderful piece from Gayle Greene, the author of "The Woman Who Knew Too Much", a biography of Alice Stewart who was the first researcher to show the damage of low dose radiation to the fetus. This article discusses Japan's ironic role in determining radiation damage, first from the US bombings which ushered forth a full court press cover-up of the health effects, to the health impacts of the GE designed Fukushima reactors and how data from the bombings is being used to quiet alarms about the impact of Fukushima radiation. A thoroughly-researched and well-written article and a must-read. Asia-Pacific Journal
