Ydinvoima Fukushiman jälkeen

by Risto Isomäki

Mitä jos…

Mitä Fukushimassa olisi tapahtunut jos Sendain alueelle olisi iskenyt yhtä iso tsunami kuin 68 vuotta aikaisemmin?

Miksi USA:n ilmavoimien sotakorkeakoulu pitää radioaktiivisia laskeumia miljoona kertaa vaarallisempina kuin Suomen Säteilyturvakeskus?

Aiheuttaako radioaktiivinen polonium valtaosan tupakointiin liittyvistä syövistä?

Leviävätkö ydinaseet kymmeniin uusiin maihin, jos alamme rakentaa niin sanottuja neljännen sukupolven ydinreaktoreja?

Reviews

[Tiina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very educational with lots of interesting information. For example, I had no idea that cigarettes contain and expose smokers to radioactive Polonium. Another good reason not to start smoking. I hope this gets attention in the media, although it does not seem to be the case. This should be a real conversation starter, the book raises good questions that deserve answers. Teachers could ask high schoolers to read this, if only to make them stop smoking.

Very interesting questions about nuclear power and its safety. I wish someone would respond to Isomäki and we could have some real discussion on these topics, both in Finland and globally.

This is a well written and researched, and very actionable book.
