But the safety of nuclear power stations is a highly controversial topic, and where they will be sited is a most vital question. In this independent critique, based on four years of research, Stan Openshaw demonstrates that, whilst major reactor accidents are expected to be rare events, the nuclear industry cannot guarantee that accidents affecting large numbers of people will not occur. Current conditional assurances of safety exclude the possibility of terrorist attacks, sabotage and human error. Nuclear safety is a matter of faith.' (Quotes taken from the back cover ***On 26 April 1986, the no. 4 reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, located near Pripyat, Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union (now Ukraine), exploded. With dozens of direct casualties, it is one of only two nuclear energy accidents rated at the maximum severity on the International Nuclear Event Scale.) ***A first printing of the true first edition of this book - published as a paperback original. All editions of this book are uncommon. Interestingly, the book was published in the same year as the Chernobyl disaster! ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
