Out now from Strange Attractor: a book about the UK’s nuclear power stations.

‘Richly illuminating’ – Financial Times

The United Kingdom has sixteen nuclear power stations. Most go under the radar, but their presence is enormous, both physically and culturally. They divide opinion like nothing else. Are they relics of a past era, or crucial to our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom? Atomic Albion is a journey around Britain’s nuclear power stations and the country itself, in the aftermath of Covid 19. From the Essex marshes to the Anglesey coast, from the Dungeness shingle to the far north of Scotland, Atomic Albion explores how nuclear sites shape the places around them, and enters the strange, impossible world of nuclear power and weapons.
