FALLOUT FROM FUKUSHIMA

Book ID/图书代码： 11980512B56082

English Summary/英文概要： Fallout from Fukushima tells the story of Japan’s worst nuclear disaster, and the international nuclear industry’s attempts to downplay it.

On a calm afternoon on 11 March 2011, a forcenine earthquake jolted the Pacific Ocean seabed 66 kilometres east of the Japanese city of Sendai. Forty minutes later, a 21-metre tsunami crashed onto the coast of Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate prefectures. Towns collapsed, villages were destroyed, and 16,000 people were swept up. While struggling with the magnitude of the destruction, Japan had to cope with another calamity — explosions and meltdowns at a nuclear complex near the city of Fukushima.

Former diplomat Richard Broinowski travelled to Japan’s irradiated zone to speak to those affected and find out why the authorities delayed warning the public about the severity of the radiation. He reveals the disaster’s consequences, including the psychological impact on those who, unable to return to their farms and villages, may become permanent nuclear refugees.

In this illuminating account, Broinowski examines what the Fukushima disaster will mean for the international nuclear industry. With reference to Tokyo, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl, he explores why some countries are abandoning nuclear power while others continue to put their faith in this dangerous technology.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《福岛的放射性尘埃》讲述了日本最严重的核灾难,国际核产业的试图淡化它。

在2011年3月11日一个平静的下午,一个9级地震震动太平洋海底以东66公里的日本城市仙台。四十分钟后,一个21米海啸滑落到福岛海岸,宫城县和岩手县。城镇倒塌,村子被毁,16000人被席卷了。在这巨大的破坏中苦苦挣扎,日本不得不应付另一场灾难——福岛市附近核电站的爆炸和融化。

前外交官理查德Broinowski前往日本的辐射带跟那些受影响的讲演，并找出为什么当局推迟对公民警告这严酷的辐射。他揭示了灾难性的后果,包括对不能回到他们的农场和村庄的人们的心理影响,可能会成为永久性的核难民。

在这种具有启发意义的解释下,Broinowski审视福岛灾难将意味着国际核产业。关于东京,三哩岛和切尔诺贝利,,他探讨了为什么一些国家放弃核电而其他人继续把希望寄托在这个危险的技术上。（LNL）
