Many people have been misled and deceived about the safety of the nuclear industry. Most people still believe the myth that there have only been 3 nuclear reactor meltdowns. In the following book the author lays out and details as many as 13 nuclear reactor meltdowns, just in Soviet Russia.

In another book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes delivers a riveting account of the nuclear arms race and the Cold War. In the Reagan-Gorbachev era, the United States and the Soviet Union came within minutes of nuclear war, until Gorbachev boldly launched a campaign to eliminate nuclear weapons, setting the stage for the 1986 Reykjavik summit and the incredible events that followed. In this thrilling, authoritative narrative, Richard Rhodes draws on personal interviews with both Soviet and U.S. participants and a wealth of new documentation to unravel the compelling, shocking story behind this monumental time in human history—its beginnings, its nearly chilling consequences, and its effects on global politics today.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
Pavel Shestakov, a decorated Chernobyl liquidator – he was among the many thousands called upon to clean up the site of the dreadful catastrophe in 1986 – and chairman of the NGO Soyuz Chernobyl (Union Chernobyl) in Balakovo and Balakovo Region.

He said that in April 1986 – the same month and year that Chernobyl’s fourth reactor blew up – an accident occurred at Balakovo’s Unit 1, the same reactor that the station now wants to run in test increased-capacity operation. That accident was accompanied with a radiation release exceeding acceptable levels by 200 times, with the radioactive cloud reaching as far as the satellite town of Balakovo.
“They say here that there haven’t been any accidents at Balakovo NPP. But a small lie breeds great distrust,” Shestakov told the audience at the hearing.
“We, liquidators of the consequences of the accident at Chernobyl NPP, we know the dangers of nuclear energy,” Shestakov said. “If the NPP is so safe then why wouldn’t Rosenergoatom Concern provide Balakovo residents with emergency and population evacuation insurance? Why wouldn’t the state do it – if only for 100 million [roubles], if it’s so ‘safe.’ No one wants to do it, so apparently it means you think there is a probability of an accident. And it is there. Fukushima proved it. Three Mile Island proved it. There have been accidents. And there was one at Chernobyl. The Chernobyl mess, they’re still dealing with it.”
Shestakov asked if anyone has even thought to imagine evacuating a town of 250,000. He recalled the evacuation of Pripyat, the now abandoned town that was closest to Chernobyl NPP. In 1986, Shestakov said, in one single move, 47,000 residents were taken out of Pripyat and neighboring towns in 1,200 buses and 1,800 military trucks.
“Can you even imagine such an operation today? Chernobyl has taught you nothing,” Shestakov said emphatically.
“You can’t go on tempting fate indefinitely,” he added. “Stupidity is the costliest thing. One pays dearly for it.”
If a Carrington Event happens, all 400 nuclear plants and spent fuel pools will melt down due to loss of power. Humanity cannot live through that. This happened once in 1900, but can happen again anytime. The only safe nuclear reactor is one that is being dismantled and disposed of permanently.
