THE NUCLEAR ENVIRONMENT

SCIENTIFIC HISTORY OF THE ATOMIC AGE

US National Science Foundation Science & Technology Studies Proposal 2020024

Funded by the United States National Science Foundation, this project examines human-nature-atom interactions from the dawn of the nuclear age, across civilian and military applications, among promoters, protestors, politicians, downwinders, operators and others. Our research encompasses the United States and Europe, the Eurasian continent, including Russia, Korea and Japan, India and elsewhere. Through a dedicated webpage with links to extant and new research materials, teaching guides and the like; a blog and a wiki; through consultations with public science and nuclear site museums; through editorials; and through other published results, this project will engage the broad public: students and teachers, specialists and laypeople of all countries.
