The author re-analyzes the causes of theaccident, confronting us with startling details aboutcritical design faults in the (RBMK) reactors of theChernobyl type. - The second part deals with the long-rangeand long-term effects of the catastrophe on man andenvironment, including a wealth of yet unpublished dataalong with proposals for future action. - Physicist VladimirChernousenko is eminently qualified to write on this topic:In 1986 he was appointed representative of the UkrainianAcademy of Sciences in Chernobyl and the "Zone".

He wasco-author of the internal Government Report for PresidentGorbachev and the Supreme Soviet.
