Description

The author's conclusion upon reviewing the information chaos experienced after the Chernobyl accident is the bitter realization that the population has been left alone in deep concern and helplessness. The author is an expert in radiation protection and reviews the events against the background of his own experiences during that time, stating that he can't spare his own metier the criticism it deserves. (orig./HP)
