There's a fantastic historian of science, Gabrielle Hecht, who works on nuclear power. Landscapes aren't her primary focus, but they figure strongly in her writing. Hecht's earlier work was on Francophone Africa (see cite below), and she is now working on Fukushima.
Hecht, Gabrielle. 2002. "Rupture-talk in the nuclear age: Conjugating colonial power in Africa." Social Studies of Science 32(5-6):691-728.
Best,
Rebecca
