Soft cover. Condición: New. 8vo (20.5 cm), XII, 228 pp. Laminated wrappers. From the blurb: "Chernobyl and Nuclear Power in the USSR provides the first detailed account of the Soviet nuclear power industry and of the nature, impact and consequences of the Chernobyl disaster of late April 1986. It encompasses the first days after the accident and how the Soviet authorities released the news to the West; Soviet energy problems that have led to a new and unprecedented commitment to nuclear power; the co-operation and links of the USSR and the Comecon countries in the current nuclear programme (particularly with Soviet Ukraine); development in the USSR, including an analysis of the progress of individual stations in the Ukraine; construction and safety questions; the immediate aftermath of the disaster; and the political and economic consequences of the accident. The author raises the key questions: are Soviet nuclear power plants inherently unsafe? What impact will the Chernobyl disaster have on the Soviet nuclear energy programme and on nuclear power development in the world as a whole?". Nº de ref. del artículo: 006793
