- Summary, etc.This book explores how Japanese views of nuclear power were in......nly by Hiroshima and Nagasaki but by gover......ment, business and media efforts to actively promote how it was a safe and integral part of Japans future.

Despite the emergence of an anti-nuclear movement, the dream of civilian nuclear power and the "good atom" nevertheless prevailed and became more accepted. By the late 1950s, a school trip to see a reactor was becoming a reality for young Japanese, and major events such as the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and ...
