About This Item
Trade paperback edition, published by ECW Press.
The true story of what happened at a military nuclear test reactor in the Idaho desert in 1961. The explosion on January 3 of that year killed three people instantly and the fall-out killed many more over time. This was the first nuclear reactor accident that caused fatalities. Using facts uncovered from military documents, first hand accounts from rescue workers, nuclear industry insiders, and interviews with victim's families, McKeown here presents an intriguing story of what happened.
270 pages with Epilogue and Appendix. Some light wear to the cover, with slight bump marks to the corners of the back cover. No former ownership marks. Spine panel has some spots where the cover varnish has slightly lifted . No writing on the text pages. This is not a remainder, not a library copy. The text is clean, the binding is tight and square. There are some age foxing spots to the edges of the text block. This copy is not a remainder, not a library copy.
The attached photos are of the copy we have in our inventory, not a stock photo.
