A very detailed history of the civil Soviet nuclear program, with only few references to the military one. All the scientists, engieneers and politicians involved in the program are presented, with detailed biographies. The Chernobyl accident is covered, as well the root causes at the base of it. It is a very interesting reading, but very long. It is an history book and reading it from end to end in one solution is going to be boring. I did it and found myself skipping several pages of uninteresting biographies. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"Red Atom takes a behind-the-scenes look at the history of the Soviet Union's peaceful use of nuclear power. It explores both the projects and the technocratic and political elite who were dedicated to increasing state power through technology. And it describes the political, economic, and environmental fallout of Chernobyl." "A story of big science run amok, Red Atom illuminates the problems that can befall any society heavily invested in large-scale technology."--BOOK JACKET.

The book's chapter on nuclear airplanes and rockets was substantially shorter than the section on food irradiation. I was quite frustrated by this. Overall I was disappointed with the book. I felt it didn't contain very much new or insightful information. ( )
