Description
Stephen Tromans, Nuclear Law: The Law Applying to Nuclear Installations and Radioactive Substances in its Historic Context (Hart Publishing, Oxford, 2nd edition, 2010) ISBN 978-1-841-13857-2-610 pages 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' These were the famous remarks by J Robert Oppenheimer, the scientific director for the Manhattan Project, made upon the first successful detonation of the nuclear bomb. This prophetic reference by Oppenheimer to the sacred Hindu text, the Bhagavad Gita, came to pass in 1945 with the dropping of atomic weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, resulting in the death of over 350,000 people. After the Second World War, attention turned to the potential for using nuclear reactors--built in the race to invent the atomic bomb--for the peaceful purpose of generating energy to supply growing economies.
