Yikes! What else is Russian not telling us? They cut corners in building nuclear plants in the 1970’s and never told anyone about the problems they had. When Three Mile Island had their accident, Russia had already had a number of accidents, but no one knew about it.
Chernobyl was scary how bad it was and how many people had been contaminated, but even scarier in that the government tried to hide the issues over and over and over. Even when responsible Russians who worked on the project raised issues, no one wanted to talk about it. Then it blew up.
This book is filled with inside information and details on what happened. If you are remotely interested in understanding how nuclear power works and, in some cases, does not work, this book is for you.
