Industrial and Medical Nuclear Accidents: Environmental, Ecological, Health and Socio-economic Consequences

Jean-Claude Amiard, "Industrial and Medical Nuclear Accidents: Environmental, Ecological, Health and Socio-economic Consequences"
English | ISBN: 1786303345 | 2019 | 334 pages | PDF | 8 MB

The peaceful use of atomic energy has given rise to a variety of nuclear accidents from the start. This concerns all forms of use, industrial and medical.

For each accident, Industrial and Medical Nuclear Accidents details the contamination of the environment, flora and fauna, and quantifies the effects of ionizing radiation. The book also examines the adverse effects on the health, both physical and mental, of the human populations concerned. The monetary cost is also evaluated.

The research presented in this book is based on scientifically recognized publications and on the reports of national and international organizations competent in this field (IAEA, WHO, UNSCEAR, IRSN, etc.). The book contains chapters devoted to the most recent accidents (Chernobyl and Fukushima), with a large body of institutional and academic literature.
