Lecture 4 - Nuclear Secrecy and Ecology
This video was recorded at YALE - EVST 255 - Environmental Politics and Law. The United States government employed a variety of approaches to protect citizens from danger, including public education, nuclear weapons testing, and gathering data about the effects of nuclear testing. The U.S. government's testing of nuclear weapons at the Bikini Atoll is used as an example of government approaches. Nuclear testing led to ecological devastation, leading the U.S. government to move Bikinians to another island. The case highlights the far-reaching environmental, economic, and health consequences of nuclear weapons testing. Reading assignment: Wargo, Green Intelligence, chapter 4 Resources Lecture 4 [PDF]
