The United Kingdom has sixteen nuclear power stations. Most go under the radar, but their presence is enormous, both physically and culturally. They divide opinion like nothing else. Are they relics of a past era, or a crucial part of our futures? Are they cathedrals of science or temples of doom?

Atomic Albion is a journey around Britain’s nuclear power stations and the country itself. From the Essex marshes to the Anglesey coast, from the Dungeness shingle to the far north of Scotland, Tom Bolton explores how nuclear sites shape the places around them, and enters the awesome world of nuclear power and weapons.

Atomic Albion is available to order now from our shop.

No one has revealed more occluded or buried sources of fascination to me than Tom Bolton, and with this book he has excelled himself. Tom Holland

Awesome in the true sense of the word, Bolton’s brilliant and disturbing nuclear travelogue manages to be elegiac as well as terrifying. Phil Baker
