Kristen Iversen (2013 event)

Riveting and horrifying in equal measure, Kristen Iversen’s
memoir of growing up next to the Rocky Flats nuclear facility
near Denver, Colorado describes the secrecy surrounding a plant
which made plutonium warhead triggers for the US nuclear arsenal.
Full Body Burden is a fascinating story of successive radiation
leaks and cover-ups set against a coming-of-age memoir and in
this event, recorded live at the 2013 Edinburgh International
Book Festival, Iversen tells her story to Stuart Kelly.
