Chernobyl - 20 Years On 2nd Edition.
This comprehensive collection of reports and report summaries is a counterpoise to the disinformation about the effects of the Chernobyl disaster which is disseminated by various official bodies.
The Second Edition, published in April 2009, has a new preface and includes some corrections to the original text.
Here are data from the real world: the world of the Chernobyl laboratory. The lessons contained in these chapters should be borne in mind by policy makers who are, even now, discussing new investments in nuclear energy and ways in which historic and future radionuclide waste can be disposed of into the environment.

The second edition is not presently available for download.
