Conclusion. ***'This booklet has been produced primarily for the benefit of those concerned with the preparation and implementation of emergency plans for civil nuclear installations, particularly local authorities. It should help to provide an overall appreciation of the consequences of accidents at nuclear plants and of the arrangements made to deal with them. In addition, publication of this information should help to reassure members of the public, especially those who live or work near nuclear plants, that detailed and well rehearsed plans exist for their protection in the unlikely event of an emergency'. (Quote taken from the Foreword) ***A second impression of the true first edition of this book - a paperback original, published during the height of the Cold War - and more interestingly, in the same year as the Chernobyl disaster. Very uncommon. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
