One of the worst nuclear disasters of all time

多年来监管不力和安全控制不到位,导致福岛第一核电站(Fukushima Daiichi)在2011年3月发生地震并引发海啸时措手不及.

福岛核事故的后果包括数百平方英里无法居住的土地, tens of thousands of relocated people, 以及数十亿美元的经济损失,使其与切尔诺贝利一起成为世界上最严重的核灾难之一.

管理受损反应堆的持续挑战以及对辐射释放的担忧意味着福岛灾难远未结束.

In fact, if exposed to similarly complex challenges, 美国所有99座正在运行的反应堆可能都有类似的结果.

Worse, Japanese and U.S. regulators share a mindset that severe, 所谓的“低概率”事故是不可能发生的,不值得花费时间和成本去防范.

Anyone seriously interested in understanding the issues involved in delivering ‘safe’ nuclear energy will be rewarded by reading this book; anybody involved in delivering nuclear power should be required to read it.
