Essential (but long) reading for anyone who still harbours the illusion that Russia (with all its many faults) is the historical “bad guy” and the collective Britain/ US/ EU/ NATO imperium is on the side of the angels!

Re #introduction for my new followers.

I am a historian of nuclear science & technology at Hiroshima Peace Inst & Grad School of Peace Studies. My book *Nuclear bodies: the global hibakusha* (Yale 2022) surveys harm from #nuclear production, weapon testing, & reactor accidents across the globe, & medical models that obscure harm from fallout particles.

Collecting oral histories in 20+ countries , I examine how communities, families and interior psychology suffer via exposures.

I track nuclear #colonialism (selecting the irradiated) arguing the #ColdWar was a limited nuclear war against these populations.

I also explore our relationship to our HL nuclear waste, asserting it is how our descendants will know us. Our choices now reveal our lack of consideration of the 1000s of generations of living beings for whom this waste is already a part of their world.
