I Was Reading This

}

The novel “I Was Reading This” is about a nuclear disaster that occurred in the seventies. The authors never mention the word “nuclear holocaust” or call it that by name, but they do discuss the effects of radiation on a family. This book was written during the cold war, and many of its themes were influenced by the conflict. After the bombing, Ann and her family leave the valley to go on a search expedition in search of other survivors. Sadly, they never return and die from radiation poisoning.

The nuclear disaster was the result of war

The nuclear disaster was a terrible outcome of war. In December 1942, in the city of Chicago, an artificial nuclear reaction was started. It was the first time the world had seen such a reaction, and it was also a key early milestone in the development of atomic bombs. Although the bombs wiped out the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, they also triggered a dangerous competition between the United States and the Soviet Union.

In the days that followed, the area surrounding the plant was closed to anyone except those with official business at the plant, or those who were operating undamaged reactors. The evacuation of 200,000 people was eventually completed, and in some areas, as many as 600,000 people were displaced. Most of these people received doses of less than 50 millisieverts of radiation, while a small number received higher doses than this.
