From developed countries such as Russia, Japan, the USA, and France, after any accident, everyone from the workers in the plant to the local population, the citizens of that country and neighboring countries, and even consumers in distant countries forced to buy contaminated products, are subjected to great lies, information concealment, and deprived of their most basic health rights. To evaluate all this, you will read in this book how this was applied in the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents, where the data became clearer over reasonable periods of time. So much so that even in a country like Japan, the distribution of iodine tablets, which should have been the first thing to do after a nuclear accident, was not carried out, and the consequences have already been very severe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, did the events in Chernobyl teach a lesson to the Japanese, who are accustomed to success in Fukushima and perhaps believe in technology the most in the world? By tracing this comparison, the book also questions the importance of the tendencies of those in power, the effectiveness of civil society, the organization of the medical community, the independence of scientists, and the courage of journalists. We in Turkey, in particular, now know very well that the line between treason and patriotism is left to the preference of the government. In some way, the people most likely to suffer the most from both accidents need reliable information and support, not cover-ups, not reports whose results have been manipulated, not research financed by the nuclear lobby, and not false hopes. Moreover, the taxes of these most affected citizens are used to eliminate the effects of the entire accident, which will last up to 300 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe type of nuclear fallout, its half-life, and their effects on plants, animals, and the natural ecosystem in general are at a level that even anthropocentric thinkers cannot ignore, because most of these are eventually consumed by humans as food or water. However, for those who can look at the world with a different perspective, how the short-lived blue butterflies are affected is also important. In addition to their shortened lifespans and reduced wing lengths, mutations in new generations are very worrying for the future. An ironic development is that, contrary to what lobbyists who claim that life would stop without the energy we get from nuclear power say, Japan, a country so dependent on technology and electricity, has lived without needing nuclear energy since the accident, closing 17 nuclear power plants (a total of 48 reactors), and today lives without nuclear power, except for 2 reactors that have been restarted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne important lesson all these accidents teach us is that, just like global climate change, nuclear power plants concern more than just the responsibility of the states they are located in, i.e., everyone living on the entire planet. Therefore, no matter in which country they are built, all people who will suffer from their negative effects tomorrow have the right to resist them.\u003cbr\u003e(From the Promotional Bulletin)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yeni İnsan Yayınevi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39408973381827,"sku":"9786055895846","price":236.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9786055895846.jpg?v=1616017500","url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/products\/nukleer-felaketlerle-yasamak","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
