In this talk, Shannon will discuss the complex and contingent practices of nuclear storytelling. Drawing from her recent book, Unmaking the Bomb: Environmental Cleanup and the Politics of Impossibility, she will consider how narratives of atomic risk, reason, pollution, and protection have come to be, and ask how they could be otherwise.

The Nuclear Waste Scholar Series is funded through a Public Participation Grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology.
