The Petkau Effect

Our fears of the dangers of manmade nuclear radiation-from atomic bomb tests and
power plants-continue to be downplayed by the "experts." Now, it appears our worst
visions may be justified by The Petkau Effect. Published in France and Germany to
wide acclaim, Ralph Graeub's book offers a cogent look at the unexpectedly severe
effects of atomic energy from both a technical and an ecological standpoint. This
groundbreaking study includes the first systematic documentation of how emissions
from nuclear readers have contributed to the death of forests in Europe and North
America. In accordance with predictions mode by Andrei Sakhorov during the time
of atmospheric testing, The Petkau Effect argues that low-level radiation spread
routinely by nuclear plants is causing global ecological catastrophe-and that millions
of people are dying from the combination of damage to their immune systems and
exposure to mutated strains of viruses. Ralph Graeub further argues that the problems
of acid rain and smog are being exacerbated by the doily emissions of nuclear
reactors-which hove as lethal an effect on people as they do on wildlife and plants.
This book povides important new arguments against those who taut nuclear energy
as the answer to both America's dependence on foreign oil and the problem of global
warming produced by the Greenhouse Effect.
