Book Review

Conservation Fallout: Nuclear Protest at Diablo Canyon. By John Wills. Reno and Las Vegas: University of Nevada Press, 2006. xi + 244 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, and index. Cloth $34.95.

December 2, 2007, marked the fiftieth anniversary of the Shippingport reactor and fifty years of Americans contending with commercial nuclear power. Over this half century, and particularly in the past fifteen years, scholars have produced a series of interesting and important case studies of these plants and the protests that often greeted them. Although the details vary, the larger narrative of nuclear power and protest in the United States is well-known, so one turns to new books on the subject hoping for fresh analysis. John Wills' Conservation Fallout: Nuclear Protest at Diablo Canyon is a well-written history of the ultimately unsuccessful protest against the Diablo Canyon plant, which would be have been stronger had his analytical framework been more developed throughout the text.
