在20世纪50年代，苏联核科学家和领导人想象了一个令人惊叹的未来，届时巨型反应堆将快速廉价地产生能量，核发动机将为汽车、船舶和飞机提供动力，和平核爆炸将改变景观。在原子能的推动下，共产主义的梦想将成为强大的现实。三十年后，这个梦想在切尔诺贝利破灭了。哪里出了问题？基于详尽的档案研究和采访，《红色原子》对苏联和平利用核能的历史进行了幕后回顾。它探讨了这些项目以及致力于通过技术增加国家权力的技术官僚和政治精英。它描述了切尔诺贝利的政治，经济和环境后果。一个大科学横行的故事，红色原子阐明了任何社会在大规模技术上投入巨资都可能遇到的问题。
In the 1950s, Soviet nuclear scientists and leaders imagined a stunning future when giant reactors would generate energy quickly and cheaply, nuclear engines would power cars, ships, and airplanes, and peaceful nuclear explosions would transform the landscape. Driven by the energy of the atom, the dream of communism would become a powerful reality. Thirty years later, that dream died in Chernobyl. What went wrong? Based on exhaustive archival research and interviews, Red Atom takes a behind-the-scenes look at the history of the Soviet Union's peaceful use of nuclear power. It explores both the projects and the technocratic and political elite who were dedicated to increasing state power through technology. And it describes the political, economic, and environmental fallout of Chernobyl. A story of big science run amok, Red Atom illuminates the problems that can befall any society heavily invested in large-scale technology.
