This book appraises the current understanding of nuclear power plant accidents and the challenges posed to emergency planners. The contributors address the crucial need for real-time monitoring of both the development of the accident and the dispersion of radiation into the atmosphere. Drawing together major implications of research and recent experience, the contributors propose strategies for more effective future planning. The book focuses specifically on the lessons of Chernobyl and recent developments in emergency planning in Europe.

In 1986, the Three Mile Island Public Health Fund commissioned a national team of researchers to prepare an alternative emergency plan for the region around the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. This nontechnical book, addressed to emergency workers, the public and policymakers, presents the results of their research in the form of a bold plan that is applicable to any nuclear plant emergency. It builds on the principles that local knowledge is valuable, not unsophisticated, that communities are adaptive, not inflexible, and that information must be made available and accessible to the people who most need it.

(Human-induced environmental change is to be found through...)
Human-induced environmental change is to be found throughout the world, but there are areas which scientists consider to be "critical regions" - regions that are particularly vulnerable to or suffering from environmental degradation. In this volume nine such regions are examined as case studies. In chapter one the authors provide a detailed look into the concepts of environmental criticality and endangerment, and propose formal definitions. The regional studies that follow serve to translate the conceptual framework into the physical and social realities of each area.
