Fallout
Gekündigte Atomabkommen, drohendes Wettrüsten, marode Kernkraftwerke - der Geist der Radioaktivität schwebt weiter über uns. Aber was genau wissen wir über die Folgen von Verstrahlung und die Gefahren, die von stillgelegten Meilern ausgehen? Wie leben die Menschen in und um die Sperrzonen? Und wohin mit dem ganzen Atommüll? Eine fesselnde Reportagereise durch das nukleare Zeitalter.Hiroshima, Bikini Atoll, Sellafield, Tschernobyl, Fukushima, Gorleben - Namen, die nicht mehr nur Orte bezeichnen, sondern Katastrophen und immense materielle wie immaterielle Kosten. Sie erinnern an das Zusammentreffen von menschlicher Genialität, Machtmissbrauch und schlimmstem Versagen. Dabei hat ein jeder dieser Orte seine eigene ernüchternde Geschichte zu erzählen. Zusammen ergeben sie die Chronik des nuklearen Zeitalters.In seiner fesselnden und hervorragend recherchierten Reportage untersucht Fred Pearce die größten atomaren Desaster der letzten 70 Jahre und bereist die ikonisch gewordenen Orte. Er besichtigt mit Wissenschaftlern und Ingenieuren stillgelegte Reaktoren und verlassene Testareale, entdeckt auf verseuchtem Brachland radioaktive Wölfe und mutierte Pflanzen, aber auch eine überraschende Widerstandskraft der Natur. Überlebende, Ärzte und Aktivisten erzählen ihm, was staatliche Verschleierungen, Täuschungen durch Konzerne und die Vertuschung medizinischer Erkenntnisse physisch und psychisch angerichtet haben.Mit seinem Buch ruft Pearce uns ins Gedächtnis, was wir nicht vergessen sollten: das ganze Ausmaß und die Folgen der zerstörerischsten Technologie, die die Menschheit je erfunden hat.
