49 From Chernobyl to Fukushima: Revisiting the Meaning of Tragedy
Harvard University Professor Serhii Plokhy has long been dedicated to the study of Ukrainian history, Soviet history, and nuclear accidents. In his award-winning book Chernobyl: History of a Tragedy, he detailed the origins and massive impact of this unprecedented disaster through a large amount of primary source material, including recently declassified archives and personal recollections of those involved. In his book Atomic and Ashes: A History of Nuclear Disasters, Professor Plokhy broadens his perspective to the causes of nuclear accidents more generally. This episode will reflect on major nuclear accidents in history through a discussion of Professor Plokhy’s works—what can we gain when we revisit these tragedies?

49 从切尔诺贝利到福岛：重温悲剧的意义
哈佛大学教授沙希利·浦洛基长期致力于乌克兰史、苏联史与核事故的研究。他在屡获殊荣的《切尔诺贝利：一部悲剧史》中，通过近年来陆续公开的档案、当事人回忆等大量一手资料，详细描述这场空前事故的来龙去脉及其巨大影响。而在《原子与灰烬：核灾难的历史》中，浦洛基教授则将视野投向更为广泛的核事故的成因。本期节目将通过对浦洛基教授著作的讨论，引入对历史上曾经发生过的重大核事故的反思——当我们重温这些悲剧时，我们能够从中获得什么？
