This is an automatically translated description
Chornobyl, nuclear power, alienation zone... All this is not the scenery of a computer game, but the reality we live in every day. With the consequences of the accident that happened over 30 years ago and the nuclear power plants that power our homes.
In this book you will not find a detailed analysis of the events that took place on 26th of June 1986, or the stories of liquidators. At least you will learn the basics of radiation science, meet the people who create it, and understand what is happening in Chornobyl and what the future of radiation and nuclear safety in the world may look like after the war in Ukraine is over.
Is Chornobyl snow safe to eat and should we savour potatoes from the exclusion zone? What is happening at the nuclear power plant and why alcohol does not protect from radiation? What is the difference between radiation biology and radioecology, impregnation and depollution, and why is it not worth panicking if a power unit of a nuclear power plant has shut down? About all this, as well as about the occupation of Chornobyl, the situation at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, tactical nuclear weapons and Fukushima in this book.
