内容介绍

被《星期日时报》和《今日历史》选为年度图书

绝对令人惊叹。......一项了不起的成就。......这是一项艰巨的成就。""这是一部由六部分组成的历史惊悚小说，是我们的政治家和普通公民的必读书。

畅销历史学家谢尔希-普洛克希（Serhii Plokhy）再次回归，通过六次核灾难的历史，对原子时代进行了启发性的探索

2011 年，43 英尺高的海啸冲进了日本福岛的一座核电站。在随后的几天里，爆炸将建筑物炸得四分五裂，

三个反应堆发生核泄漏，周围地区被放射性物质淹没。这场灾难现在被认为是有史以来损失最惨重的核灾难之一。

但福岛并不是第一次，也不是最严重的一次。. .

在《原子与灰烬》一书中，著名历史学家谢尔盖-普洛克希讲述了震撼世界的六次核灾难的故事： 比基尼环礁、基什特姆、温斯卡尔、三里岛、切尔诺贝利和福岛。

根据广泛的研究和目击者的证词，Plokhy 追溯了每场危机的来龙去脉，

深入探讨了当地混乱的决策以及政府为控制危机而做出的惊慌失措的反应，而且往往掩盖了灾难的规模。

随着世界越来越多地将目光投向可再生能源和替代能源，普洛克希清晰地论证了必须以明确的方式理解原子风险，

同时这些灾难也揭示了我们与核技术关系的一个基本事实：对电力和能源的渴求始终压倒了安全和为子孙后代付出的代价。

CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY SUNDAY TIMES AND HISTORY TODAY

'Absolutely stunning. . . a formidable achievement. A six-part historical thriller that is essential reading for both our politicians and the ordinary citizen' Kai Bird

Best-selling historian Serhii Plokhy returns with an illuminating exploration of the atomic age through the history of six nuclear disasters

In 2011, a 43-foot-high tsunami crashed into a nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan. In the following days, explosions would rip buildings apart, three reactors would go into nuclear meltdown, and the surrounding area would be swamped in radioactive water. It is now considered one of the costliest nuclear disasters ever. But Fukushima was not the first, and it was not the worst. . .

In Atoms and Ashes, acclaimed historian Serhii Plokhy tells the tale of the six nuclear disasters that shook the world: Bikini Atoll, Kyshtym, Windscale, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima. Based on wide-ranging research and witness testimony, Plokhy traces the arc of each crisis, exploring in depth the confused decision-making on the ground and the panicked responses of governments to contain the crises and often cover up the scale of the catastrophe.

As the world increasingly looks to renewable and alternative sources of energy, Plokhy lucidly argues that the atomic risk must be understood in explicit terms, but also that these calamities reveal a fundamental truth about our relationship with nuclear technology: that the thirst for power and energy has always trumped safety and the cost for future generations.
