Book " Basic Knowledge of Nuclear Hazards: LESSONS
from CHERNOBYL AND FUKUSHIMA"
The aim of this book is to present basic knowledge on
nuclear hazards that is acceptable and interesting for different groups of
people: journalists, decision makers, students, schoolboys and others. As
Chernobyl and Fukushima show, there is only one trustworthy source of information in the case of an emergency –
people’s own analysis of initial information on the basis of their own basic
knowledge.
This project is the common Council of Europe and UNESCO’s
response to nuclear hazards; it is providing better information and protection
for people. However, nuclear scientists alone cannot create such book; this is
why only the first draft (this one) is prepared by a nuclear physicist, and
then we expecting contributions of other co-authors (journalists, decision
makers, teachers and students). We thank to all, who will make contributions to
the text or request better, more understandable explanations of some items. It
is planned that Book will be created through joint efforts for better
understanding of nuclear hazards.
We appreciate for your comments and proposals to the text of book (vpoyarkov@hotmail.com)
