Before Chernobyl Nick Brazil

Long before the Chernobyl Disaster, there were many nuclear accidents from the explosion of the world's first reactor in Nazi Germany in 1942 to the Mayak nuclear explosion in the Urals in the 1950s which killed thousands. This book tells the story of the many nuclear accidents that have scarred the earth over the past eighty years and asks what we can do to stop them happening in the future. Written in straightforward layman's terms it is a sobering must-read for anyone who cares about the future of the world.
