Chernousenko’s Chernobyl is a first-hand account of the events and facts surrounding this global disaster: The first part of the book includes an
absoring account of what happened at Chernobyl nuclear power station on
April 26, 1986, as well as a review of the rectification measures taken so far. The author re-analyzes the causes of the accident, confronting us
with startling details about critical design faults in the (RBMK) reactors of the Chernobyl type. - The second part deals with the long-range and long-term effects of the catastrophe on man and environment, including a
wealth of yet unpublished data along with proposals for future action. -
Physicist Vladimir Chernousenko is eminently qualified to write on this
topic: In 1986 he was appointed representative of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences in Chernobyl and the Zone . He worked in the so-called Special Zone (10-km radius around the reactor) where he received large radiation
doses. He was co-author of the internal Government Report for
President Gorbachev and the Supreme Soviet. Until 1991 he was scientificdirector of the 30-km exclusion zone. - This book is a vital step towards
establishing the truth about the causes of the accident and - even more
important - the actual scale of its aftermath. It provides the
specialist with the scientific and medical data needed for
further investigation and for designing effective countermeasures, whilethe lay reader will profit most from the absorbing accounts and personal
statements of eyewitnesses and other people directly affected by the
catastrophe. - A unique collection of photographs adds further poignancy to the written descriptions. Appendices are added to explain the most
important technical terms for the non-specialist and to provide technical
details for the specialist. The book is of equal interest to natural
scientists, medics and interested laypersons.
