Nuclear Families, Atomic Cities, and the Great Soviet and American Plutonium        Disasters
While many transnational histories of the nuclear arms race have        been written, Kate Brown provides the first definitive account of the great        plutonium disasters of the United States and the Soviet Union. She draws on official        records and dozens of interviews to tell the extraordinary stories of Richland,        Washington and Ozersk, Russia--the first two cities in the world to produce        plutonium. To contain secrets, American and Soviet leaders created        plutopias--communities of nuclear families living in highly-subsidized,        limited-access atomic cities. Plutopia was successful because in its zoned-off        isolation it appeared to deliver the promises of the American dream and Soviet        communism; in reality, it concealed disasters that remain highly unstable and        threatening today.
