'... excellent account of the fire ... a book filled with fascinating facts. Ms Arnold asks whether any of this matters any more. It does, and her excellent book shows why' - Tom Wilkie, Independent;In 1957 one of the two reactors built at Windscale in Cumbria, England, to produce plutonium for bombs was destroyed by fire, in the world's first major nuclear accident.;`Nearly forty years on, the story of the world's first nuclear accident still enthrals. A second edition of Lorna Arnold's straight ahead narrative of the fire in a plutonium-producing reactor on the coast of Cumberland pins you to your seat from the start.' - New Scientist;This book - using official papers, scientific reports and much firsthand evidence - tells of the men who designed, built and operated the reactors. It describes the fire and what followed, and considers its causes, effects and political importance. It throws a revealing new light on the event and on questions of secrecy and responsibility.
