The Chernobyl nuclear accident is widely regarded as the worst accident in the history of nuclear power. It is the only nuclear accident that has been classified a "major accident" by the International Atomic Energy Agency. This disaster killed 30 people immediately and because of the high radiation levels from the power plant, over 135,000 people in a 20 mile radius of the power plant had to be evacuated. The book studies this worst nuclear accident ever, its effects, and international efforts to recover from the disaster.
