Nuclear Nebraska: The Remarkable Story of the Little County That Couldn't Be Bought is a 2007 book by Susan Cragin which follows the controversy about a proposed low level nuclear waste dump, which was planned for Boyd County, Nebraska.
The residents of the Boyd County farming community resisted the offer and controversy followed for almost two decades.
During this time, the community was transformed "from a small group of isolated farmers to a defiant band of environmentalists".
The opposition of the community eventually succeeded, and the license to build the dump was denied.
