The 50s is not what we thought it was.

I introduce you to the other side of the 50s. Or maybe it’s the same side of the 50s we thought we knew. The golden era of nuclear science. A new world of endless imagination and possibility. Fortunes to be made. Drugs to be sold, chemicals to be marketed. Liability to be avoided. In barely cloaked language, we learn what our scientific community was thinking as they marched our grandparents off into radiological disaster zones, and continued using a contaminated armada of naval ships for decades.
