Skipped ahead to the Russia chapter -it's very interesting to me -esp. since Dr. Natalia Mironova and some other Russians are mentioned in this chapter and we just had an international nuclear accountability workshop with Natalia and others in April 2007. Worse than Chernobyl is Mayak, another little known nuclear facility in the Urals in Russia. Before glasnost (and "open" sharing of information) there were 4 accidents at Mayak -accidents that were WORSE than Chernobyl but aren't known because of the closed system at the time. (not even the Russians were told) So many people have suffered -and still are -because of these accidents. I'm completely digressing and this isn't so much a review as a "what I find interesting right now as I read". :)
