The Legacy of Nuclear Power provides a historical and geographical perspective going back to the origins of these places and discusses the ever changing relationship between local communities and the nuclear industry. The case studies are based on academic and policy sources and on conversations with an array of people over many years. Each story is mediated through a theoretical framework focused on the concept of 'peripheral communities' developing through changing discourses of nuclear energy. This interdisciplinary book brings together social, political and ethical themes to produce a work provides profound insights into how the nuclear legacy should be managed.
