This book explores how Japanese views of nuclear power were
influenced not only by Hiroshima and Nagasaki but by government,
business and media efforts to actively promote how it was a safe
and integral part of Japan's future. The idea of "atoms for peace"
and the importance of US-Japan relations were emphasized in
exhibitions and in films. Despite the emergence of an anti-nuclear
movement, the dream of civilian nuclear power and the "good atom"
nevertheless prevailed and became more accepted. By the late 1950s,
a school trip to see a reactor was becoming a reality for young
Japanese, and major events such as the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and 1970
Osaka Expo seemed to reinforce the narrative that the Japanese
people were destined for a future led by science and technology
that was powered by the atom, a dream that was left in disarray
after the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
