From the publication:
SILENT WITNESSES THREE DECADES AFTER CHERNOBYL'S NUCLEAR DISASTER About three decades ago, the world faced the biggest nuclear disaster in history, when one of Chernobyl's nuclear reactors exploded. The devastating effects on people and environment last up to the present day. But the world seems to have forgotten about this tragedy. This exclusive book gives the reader an intimate view of the site of the accident and the affected area thirty years after the disaster. Part I presents extensive background information about the accident and long-term consequences of the disaster. It also includes the response and opinions of different authorities, organizations and scientists. Part II contains an exceptional collection of dramatic photographs taken in the depopulated area around the exploded reactor. The 'silent witnesses' of the disaster play a prominent role in these powerful images. Authors Hans Walkers and Daan Kloeg, both scientists and photographers with a solid scientific background, have published numerous scientific and popular scientific papers and earned multiple awards in photography and business.
