Iaea: Security Management of Radioactive
Material in Use and Storage and of Asso

Security Management of Radioactive Material in Use and Storage and of Associated Facilities (French Edition)

A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR What if Chernobyl was just the beginning? The acclaimed winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize returns to Chernobyl to tell the gripping story of thirty-five days of war On 24 February 2022, the first day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, armoured vehicles approached the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in northern Ukraine. It was the most direct way for them to reach the capital - and an extraordinarily reckless plan after the disaster that had taken place there three decades earlier. Russian occupation of the plant had begun. It would last thirty-five days. Closely reported and narrated from multiple perspectives, this is the story of the Ukrainians who were held hostage and worked shifts for weeks instead of days to spare the world a new nuclear accident. We meet Valentyn Heiko, the foreman who had also been there for the clean-up of the Chernobyl accident in 1986 and turned sixty during the occupation; plant workers who found a way to celebrate International Women's Day despite all odds; Russian officers who had no knowledge of nuclear reactors; and four stalkers who were caught in the middle and stood in for the overworked cook. Gripping and unforgettable, Chernobyl Roulette sounds the alarm about the dangers of nuclear sites in an unprecedented time, when plant workers are left to fight on their own while the world holds its breath. In a book that reads like a thriller, Serhii Plokhy tells a remarkable story about human nature, uncertainty and courage.

'Methodically exposes, with powerful evidence, how nuclear power is unneeded, uneconomic, unsafe and unreliable'&nbsp;Ralph Nader, co-author of The Menace of Atomic Energy

'Does a great service in highlighting the nuclear chain reaction and exposing the huge human and environmental costs'&nbsp;Jeremy Corbyn, British politician and Member of Parliament

There is no silver bullet for the climate crisis-but that hasn't stopped people searching. Seizing its chance, the nuclear power industry wants us to believe that theirs is the only technical fix for our deliverance. Unsurprisingly, politicians and the media have been easily swayed. After all, the pro-nuclear PR campaign is richly funded and has an army of lobbyists sowing myths, ultimately influencing public opinion.

No To Nuclear calls the industry's bluff. Blasting aside its claims to be safe and green, Linda Pentz Gunter makes the irresistible case that nuclear power is too slow, too expensive, too dangerous and too connected to the nuclear weapons complex, to serve as a rational energy choice. The book also delves into the lives of Indigenous peoples and marginalised communities, who have been harmed the most by the nuclear sector, and questions whether the way we devalue our environment is costing us the chance of a genuinely just energy transition.

Linda Pentz Gunter founded the US-based non-profit Beyond Nuclear and serves as its international specialist. A journalist for 25 years, working with Reuters, The Times and USA Network, she now writes features for the Morning Star and Capitol Hill Citizen.

Why Nuclear Power Destroys Lives, Derails Climate Progress and Provokes War

No To Nuclear

Bulletin, Issues 27-37

THE CLIMATE CRISIS has propelled nuclear energy back into fashion. Its proponents argue we already have the technology of the future and that it only needs perfection and deployment. Nuclear Is Not the Solution demonstrates why this sort of thinking is not only naïve but dangerous. Even beyond the horrific implications of meltdown and the intractable problem of waste disposal, nuclear is not practicable on such a large scale. Any appraisal of future energy technology depends on two important parameters: cost and time. Nuclear fails on both counts. It is more costly than its renewable competitors wind and solar. And, importantly given the need for rapid transformation, it is slow. A plant takes a decade to come online. If you include permits and fundraising, this adds another decade. And we should not forget the deep roots it has in the defense industry. M. V. Ramana’s powerful book destroys any illusion that nuclear is our answer to climage change, untangling technical arguments into simple and sensible language. Importantly, Nuclear Is Not the Solution also unmasks the powerful groups with vested interests in the maintenance of the status quo, currently working hard to greenwash a spectacularly dirty industry.

The Folly of Atomic Power in the Age of Climate Change

Nuclear is Not the Solution

'Few historians write with Serhii Plokhy's authority, clarity or global vision... Essential reading, and a marvellous book' Peter FrankopanFrom the bestselling author of Chernobyl comes a sweeping history of the geopolitics behind the nuclear arms race, from the first atomic bomb to today On 16 July 1945, the Nuclear Age began with the explosion of the first atomic bomb and the words of J. Robert Oppenheimer: 'Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.' While the threat of mutually assured destruction kept a lid on a simmering and tense geopolitical landscape, events like the Chernobyl disaster and near-misses like the Cuban Missile Crisis showed that total destruction was only ever one malfunction, mistake, or miscommunication away. Now, as governments re-arm their nuclear arsenals, treaties designed to limit the acquisition and use of nuclear weapons fall away, and nuclear weapons come increasingly within reach of non-state actors, we are on the brink of a renaissance of the nuclear industry. In The Nuclear Age, acclaimed historian Serhii Plokhy paints an intricate picture of a world governed by fear. From the first artificial splitting of the atom in 1917 and the race to create the first atomic bomb in World War II, through the fraught arms race of the Cold War, to the imperialism, neo-colonial motivation and wars being waged today, the threat posed by nuclear weapons is as pertinent as ever. As he examines the motivations of key players, Plokhy confronts the crucial question of our age: what can we learn from the first nuclear arms race that can help us to stop the new one?

An Epic Race for Arms, Power and Survival

The Nuclear Age

The case for nuclear energy as the foundation of the AI revolution - and our future In The Smiling Atom: How We Learned to Love Nuclear Energy, and Why You Should, Too, physicist-entrepreneur Stefano Buono and journalist Peter Vanham argue that the AI-driven "fourth industrial revolution" depends on a nuclear energy renaissance. Combining science, history, business strategy, and personal narrative, their dual perspective reframes nuclear technology as a future-facing solution for clean energy, medical innovation, and broad-based prosperity. The Smiling Atom weaves two distinct threads: Buono's scientific journey from a decade of research at CERN with Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia to founding pharmaceutical startup Advanced Accelerator Applications, sold to Novartis for $3.9 billion, and now leading next-generation reactor company newcleo; alongside Vanham's evolution from a nuclear-skeptic to informed believer. Together they deliver technical authority and narrative credibility. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>How nuclear energy can be a solution to the massive and growing power demands of artificial intelligence infrastructure - without driving up prices for everyone else</li> <li>The science of nuclear waste transmutation and next-generation reactor designs that address longstanding safety and environmental concerns</li> <li>Buono's path from CERN physicist to founding a pharmaceutical startup sold to Novartis for $3.9 billion</li> <li>How well-known anti-nuclear movements in Europe and North America shaped public opinion and why that consensus is now shifting across society - and especially Gen Z</li> <li>The role nuclear medicine plays in healthcare innovation and why energy and medical applications share common scientific foundations</li> </ul> Written for business, finance, policy, climate, and technology audiences in Europe and the United States, The Smiling Atom offers a persuasive, evidence-based argument for readers seeking to understand why nuclear energy has reemerged as central to economic growth, clean power, and technological progress.
