商品簡介
The March 11, 2011 Japanese earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear fuel meltdown was still releasing ionizing radiation into the environment 15 months later. After a brief review of the natural events leading up to the crisis, this work focuses on the technical and human shortcomings leading up to it, was well as government and civilian responses. The work doesn't shy away from technical details and provides a suite of references, but it is generally accessible to the non-specialist reader. Eisler, now retired, has an illustrious history of academic and consulting positions. The book includes four figures and 15 tables, along with a useful eight page glossary. Two pages of color plates showing the earthquake location and extent of the evacuation zone appear at the close. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
