Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

This book offers the first non-official history of French nuclear policies which goes beyond the divide between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy policies. It addresses the sizing of France’s nuclear forces technological assistance to countries with nuclear weapons programs uranium prospection nuclear testing its health effects and protests against it as well as plans to prevent and manage accidents in nuclear power plants. It is based on new questions and new sources from France and abroad. The chapters in this volume show how independent and interdisciplinary scholarship free from conflicts of interests can uniquely advance our understanding of nuclear history and politics. This is the case because it does not treat the categories and judgments of official discourse as neutral starting points of the analysis. This volume is based on untapped primary sources from France the UK the US India South Africa and Iran on a new assessment of the health consequences of French nuclear testing in Polynesia thanks to a modern atmospheric particle transport code coupled with historical weather data open-source information about radioactive debris (“mushroom”) clouds as well as data on the composition and particle sizes of the fallout; and on new survey data about French knowledge of and attitudes towards nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. They show notably that the first generation of French nuclear forces lacked technical credibility despite reliance on outside help. Several French officials knew this as did France's allies and adversaries. Moreover French strategic collaborations associated to nuclear programs extended to India and South Africa; nuclear safety regulations changed fundamentally after the Cold War and approximately 110 000 people i. e. 90% of the French Polynesian population in the 1970s could have received doses that would qualify them for compensation according to French law. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of history politics international relations military history war studies conflict and global governance. Most of the chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in Cold War History. A few chapters were first published in the Nonproliferation Review Diplomacy & Statecraft and Science & Global Security. | Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings
