From the publication:
CHAPTER I Foreword to the English edition This text is based on a booklet published in Swedish at the beginning of 1985. The information has been updated to include some of the events which occurred later in1985 and 1986 and the effects in various countries of the Chernobyl accident. In Sweden there was a very lively energy debate before the 1980 nuclear referendum. After the referendum, the question of nuclear power simply disappeared from the mainstream media. The advocates of nuclear power met no opposition to their claims that the state of nuclear power development in all other countries is healthy and profitable. I began subscribing to Nucleonics Week, the nuclear industry newsletter, in 1980 with the purpose of finding out exactly which countries were doing such profitable nuclear business. Six years of reading have so far failed to turn up any such country. Many high hopes in the nuclear industry have faded during this time, the latest being the hopes of large and profitable reactor exports to China. If one hears someone today talking about the great number of nuclear reactors on order worldwide, he (or on some rare occasions she) is mainly referring to the Soviet Union or other countries in Eastern Europe. There, vast developments are planned.
