Reviews

This cutting-edge work merits considerable attention for those who are interested in learning more about Japan s relationship with nuclear energy and the ramifications of the colossal disaster caused by the implosion of the Fukushima nuclear plant. Not only does this book provide a well-researched historical perspective of Japan s nuclear energy industry, but it also presents a bold and brave analysis of the Fukushima disaster including industry s role, the Japanese government s failures, and United States impact on this catastrophe. It also provides valuable insights into the legal issues and compensation claims arising from Fukushima.--Matthew J. Wilson, University of Akron School of Law
