Book Reviews of The Legacy of Chernobyl

Book Review: CHERNOBYL: A ONE ACT PLAY
Summary: 5 Stars

The book was a fast read. I found the information fascinating, but the author suddenly was throwing numbers at me that I didn't quite understand.
My main reason for the purchase of this book was the info for a play. The info was clear and easy to understand, (except for the numbers I.E.
40 Ci/km and 2 just above the m, the equivalent of 1,500,000Bq/m with the number 2 above the m. I guess that means to the second power) Anyway I reccommend THE LEGACY OF CHERNOBYL BY Zhores Medvedev if anyone is interested in what happened at Chernobyl. This book helped me to write the one-act play "CHERNOBYL."
