Abstract

Since the first half of the 20th century, technological innovations have transformed war methods and created prolifications of nuclear powers worldwide. The two world wars and the subsequent Cold War period cause a peak in this race. These developments, however, caused many tragedies; among those was the nuclear power plant accident in Fukushima in 2011. 'Nuclear Power and Human Rights in Japan: The Fallout of Fukushima', by Dr Emrah Akyüz from Lexington Books, attempted to examine the event from the axis of human rights. This book consists of seven main sections with each chapter's introduction and conclusion, which helps the reader to formulate a general assessment.
