From the pilot's seat in the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, to Chernobyl's exclusion zone and to the site in Finland where highly radioactive waste will be buried, this is the incredible story of nuclear power.

Providing a vivid account of the characters and events that have shaped the world's most controversial energy source and our thinking around it, The Power of Nuclear weaves politics, culture and technology to explore nuclear power's past and future.

In his quest to disentangle myth from facts, Marco Visscher asks: How dangerous is radiation? What should you do after a nuclear accident? Have nuclear weapons really made the world less safe? And why do some still reject the evidence showing the atom can provide unlimited clean energy, free countries of their dependence on fossil fuels and combat climate change?

This is an informed look at what we might do with nuclear power - and what nuclear power is doing to us.

Marco Visscher is an award-winning journalist from the Netherlands. Over the last 25 years he has written extensively about climate policy and clean technology for leading newspapers and magazines. He is a former magazine editor and the author of several books who lives with his wife and three children in Rotterdam.
