在这期英国核文化特刊的扩展介绍中，客座编辑概述了英国核学术的主要历史和概念轮廓，并探讨我们是否可以开始定义“英国核文化”，然后介绍这期特刊的撰稿人，我们将他们的工作分为三个大领域。第一部分是致力于三篇文章，提供明确和扩展的尝试，重新概念化英国核文化，阐明核科学，国家和公民个人之间的复杂联系。本期的第二部分是三篇文章，集中讨论核科学的历史-特别关注知识分子，核科学家和爱好者-以及对核科学普及的分析，以及国家与核科学及其从业者之间的关系。在第三部分中，四篇文章探讨了原子时代的“官方”叙事可以被质疑，中断或通过分析新闻，反核和虚构的叙事在英国的核文化发展的意义增强的不同方式。
Abstract In the extended introduction to this special issue on British nuclear culture, the guest editors outline the main historiographical and conceptual contours of British nuclear scholarship, and explore whether we can begin to define ‘British nuclear culture’ before introducing the contributors to this special issue, whose work we have organized into three broad areas. The first part is devoted to three articles that offer explicit and extended attempts to reconceptualize British nuclear culture, illuminating the complex links between nuclear science, the state and the individual citizen. The second part of this issue is devoted to three articles that concentrate on aspects of the history of nuclear science – focusing particularly on intellectuals, nuclear scientists and enthusiasts – alongside analysis of the popularization of nuclear science as well as the relationship between the state and nuclear science and its practitioners. In the third part, four articles examine the diverse ways in which ‘official’ narratives of the atomic age can be questioned, disrupted or enhanced by analysing the significance of journalistic, anti-nuclear and fictional narratives to the development of nuclear culture in Britain.
