内容説明

Every day throughout Britain, by road, by rail and by sea, there are large numbers of routine movements of radioactive cargo. Materials at all stages of the nuclear cycle, from uranium ore to nuclear waste, from nuclear war-heads to radioactive isotopes for medical use, are constantly on the move. All the time, all over the country there is the risk of an accident: a small one exposing workers and passers-by to low level radiation? or a serious one, leading to widespread contamination and to the risk of additional deaths from cancer? This book gives a thorough account of what is moved, by whom and for what purpose. It considers the risks, including terrorism, the safety record, the precautions, and highlights the perils of an industry clothed in secrecy. For example, local councils are responsible for coping with any accident, but are not told when or where nuclear movements take place.
