From the publication:
Whether we like it or not we live in the nuclear age. The explosion at Chernobyl brought home the reality that living with nuclear power has its dangers. Yet despite accidents the nuclear industry is pressing ahead with its plans for new power stations. Therefore, it is essential we know more about its implications for our health. * How sensitive are we to radiation -the different effects on different people. How old we are plays a crucial part. * Radiation in everyday life- are some locations more dangerous than others and is there anything we can do? * Manmade radiation - where does it come from and are the levels safe? * Nuclear power stations- where are they, how do they work and what can go wrong? * Food contamination - following a radiation leak what foods are safe to eat and how can we minimise the risk? Peter Bunyard brings together for the first time a wealth of new information with practical action that can be taken to minimise the risks to your health.
