48 Days In The Nuclear Family

A Non-Fiction Book By Paul Fullbrook

 

 

After being labelled a 'Terrrorist' by the London Evening Standard,the last place I expected to end up working was Britains newest nuclear power station. But 6 months after September 11th, that's exactly what happenned.

 

Yes boss, every 18 months, Sizewell B near Leiston, Suffolk undertakes a Refueling Outage, during which time the fuel rods are removed and the reactor is checked to ensure its safe running. At such a time, Sizewell needs staff - lots of staff - and they can't afford to be too picky....

 

So short of anything better to do, I got a job inside Sizewell B and set about investigating the life and times of a soft nuclear death trap, just 80 miles north of London. The result is a book called 48 Days in the Nuclear Family

 

48 Days in the Nuclear Family gives an inside view of a unique and unusual place, and most importantly the people who run in. Starting as a knowing exposé, the story evolves into a tale of desire, drugs, investigation, power, security, politics, myth and much more. We're not talking fantasy or fake sex noises, but thick, real life hydrocarbon rich controversy, the like of which is sure to make you scroll the page.
