Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke. Finalist, 2023 Turku Book Award. In 1972, the US Navy established a nuclear submarine base in the Archipelago of La Maddalena, off Sardinia's northeastern shore. Italy responded by launching a radiation surveillance program to assess the base's environm…ental and public health impact. Davide Orsini conducts the first systematic study of nuclear expertise in Italy, examining the technopolitical disputes surrounding the safety of US nuclear submarines in the Mediterranean from the Cold War to the base's closure in 2008. The book explores the conflicts among various stakeholders--local residents, US Navy personnel, local officials, Italian experts, and politicians--over whether submarines posed imperceptible threats akin to radiocontamination or served as efficient instruments of liberty. Unlike visible inland nuclear power plants, submarines' mobility and invisibility fostered ambivalence about their nature, reinforcing the notion of nuclear exceptionalism. In Italy, they represented objects in constant motion, easily relocated at the first sign of danger. Orsini illustrates how these mobile hazards complicated expert assessments and public perceptions of risk, particularly in non-Anglo-Saxon contexts where distinct social power dynamics influenced the outcomes of technopolitical debates.

In the first…systematic study of nuclear expertise in Italy, Davide Orsini focuses on the ensuing technopolitical disputes concerning the role and safety of US nuclear submarines in the Mediterranean Sea from the Cold War period to the closure of the naval base in 2008. His book follows the struggles of different groups--including local residents of the archipelago, US Navy personnel, local administrators, Italian experts, and politicians--to define nuclear submarines as either imperceptible threats, much like radiocontamination, or as efficient machines at the service of liberty and freedom. Unlike inland nuclear power plants, vividly present and visible with their tall cooling towers and reactor containers, the mobility and invisibility of submarines contributed to an ambivalence about their nature, perpetuating the idea of nuclear exceptionalism. In Italy, they symbolized objects in constant motion, easily removable at the first sign of potential harm. Orsini demonstrates how these mobile sources of hazard posed special challenges for both expert assessments and public understandings of risk, and in contexts outside the Anglo-Saxon world, where unique social power dynamics held sway over the outcome of technopolitical controversies. Demonstrates how mobile sources of nuclear hazard posed special challenges. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
