Narrating Fukushima: Scales of a Nuclear Meltdown
The nuclear meltdowns at Fukushima in the spring of 2011, according to countless media and government analyses, were a failure of Japan: collusive ties between regulators and industry prevented proper enforcement, the nation's nuclear engineers embodied a culture of hubris, and the state prevented the media from raising critical perspectives.

Nobody Dies in a Ghost Town: Path Dependence in Japan's 3.11 Disaster and Reconstruction

Why are these things happening
Radioactive Rain and the American Umbrella
With the earthquake of March 11, 2011, and the expanding nuclear disaster that followed, our "affluent postwar" has finally reached a decisive end.

This paper examines the construction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as signifiers of "peace" in postwar Japan. It offers alternate ways of understanding the impact and significance of "Hiroshima and Nagasaki" in historical context and argues that national readings of the history of the cities obscure nuances in the local narratives of the atomic bombs in each place
