Nuclear operations, for energy or military purposes, demanded a vast infrastructure of production and supply chains that have transformed entire regions. In following the material traces of the atomic programs, contributors pay particular attention to memory practices and memorialization concerning nuclear legacies. Tracing the Atom foregrounds historical and contemporary engagements with nuclear politics: how have institutions and governments responded to the legacies of the atomic era? How do communities and artists articulate concerns over radioactive matters? What was the role of radiation expertise in a broader Soviet and international context of the Cold War? Examining nuclear legacies together with past atomic futures and post-Soviet memorialization and nuclear heritage shines light on how modes of knowing intersect with livelihoods, compensation policies, and historiography. Bringing together a range of disciplines - history, science and technology studies, social anthropology, literary studies, and art history - this volume offers insights that broaden our understanding of twentieth-century atomic programs and their long aftermaths. 410 0$aRoutledge Histories of Central and Eastern Europe. 606 $aCold War 610 $aChelyabinsk Region 610 $aChernobyl 610 $aKhujand/Leninabad 610 $anuclear war 610 $aSemipalatinsk 610 $athe Southern Urals 615 0$aCold War. 676 $a909.825 700 $aBauer$b Susanne$4edt$0900937 702 $aBauer$b Susanne 702 $aPenter$b Tanja 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910556099103321 996 $aTracing the Atom$93362548 997 $aUNINA
