À propos de cet audio
On March 11, 2011, an earthquake large enough to knock the earth from its axis sent a massive tsunami speeding toward the Japanese coast and the aging and vulnerable Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power reactors. Over the following weeks, the world watched in horror as a natural disaster became a man-made catastrophe: fail-safes failed, cooling systems shut down, nuclear rods melted.
In the first definitive account of the Fukushima disaster, two leading experts from the Union of Concerned Scientists, David Lochbaum and Edwin Lyman, team up with journalist Susan Q. Stranahan, the lead reporter of the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Pulitzer Prizewinning coverage of the Three Mile Island accident, to tell this harrowing story. Fukushima combines a fast-paced, riveting account of the tsunami and the nuclear emergency it created with an explanation of the science and technology behind the meltdown as it unfolded in real time.
The narrative also extends to other severe nuclear accidents to address both the terrifying question of whether it could happen elsewhere and how such a crisis can be averted in the future.

A little one sided
I will admit, I didn't listen to this book past the introduction and maybe a bit of the first chapter. It probably does have good information, but the immediate anti-nuclear stance put me off. I was looking for a book that presented all the facts without such an obvious slant. Maybe I'm being naive, and the divide between pro and anti nuclear groups is just too big to expect a neutral point of view. But I will keep looking.

Covered Fukushima but not viscerally
Reasonable walk through with many distractions into the political arena of international nuclear plant regulation - no eye witness descriptions like in Chernobyl books. Unsettling just the same.

Not actually about Fukushima and Japan in the end.
For a book about Fukushima, the focus of discussion is surprisingly on the United States and it's regulatory framework.
While it was interesting, the description was somewhat misleading as I thought I would learn about Fukushima and it's repercussions on Japan's society and nuclear regulations. I didn't really care about learning all I did about the US. If that was my intention, I would seek a book about the US, not Japan.
Overall interesting, but misleading about whom the focus is on. This is in reality about how Fukushima impacted nuclear regulations and industry in the US above all else.
