Rezensionen
Marples, a researcher at the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, has produced a remarkable account of the Chernobyl nuclear plant accident of April, 1986. Working mainly from broadcast and print media from the Soviet Union, he has pieced together a credible story of the background of the USSR's nuclear program, as well as the accident. For example, Marples speculates persuasively on the reasons a country rich in fossil fuels has gone heavily into generating nuclear power. He also covers the problems of construction, schedule, and safety besetting the program. Where Soviet accounts are conflicting, Marples makes reasonable judgments based on his expertise on energy questions in the Ukraine. A satisfying study with considerable relevance to corresponding problems in the United States. Daniel LaRossa, Connetquot P.L., Bohemia, N.Y.
