Nuclear Legacy: Students of Two Atomic Cities brings together articles authored by students of two different countries who share a common inheritance – coming of age in a nuclear community.The book explores, from the students’ perspectives, the past, present, and future of both the Tri-Cities area in the state of Washington and Slavutych in Ukraine, two cities established on nuclear-based industries. Slavutych is located near the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. The Tri-Cities area is near the Hanford nuclear research facility, which produced the plutonium for the first atomic bomb. Based on firsthand interviews by the students and their personal experiences, and told in the fresh and idealistic voices of these young teenagers, Nuclear Legacy shares their experiences, insights, and hopes for the future of their communities and for nuclear energy. Slavutych students include firsthand stories of the evacuation from Chornobyl and Prypyat. Tri-Cities students interviewed scientists who designed and operated some of Hanford’s first reactors, as well as current community leaders. Nuclear Legacy has been written over the past year by teenagers from both countries, and its development included cross-visits by students and teachers from both cities, plus many videoconferences. Written in both English and Ukrainian, this hard cover book includes many color photographs taken by the students, plus historical photos from their respective cities. |
