Chornobyl, nuclear power, the exclusion zone... All this is not the scenery of a computer game, but the usual reality in which we live every day. With the consequences of the accident that happened more than 30 years ago, and the nuclear power plants that power our homes.

In this book, you will not find a detailed analysis of the events that happened on April 26, 1986, or the stories of the liquidators. Instead, you will learn the basics of radiation science, get to know the people who create it, and understand what is happening in Chornobyl and what the future of radiation and nuclear safety in the world might be after the end of the war in Ukraine.

Is Chornobyl snow safe to eat and is it worth tasting potatoes from the exclusion zone? What happens at the nuclear power plant and why does alcohol not protect against radiation? What is the difference between radiobiology and radioecology, radiation and exposure, and why should you not panic if a power unit of a nuclear power plant has stopped? In their book, radiobiologists Olena Pareniuk and Kateryna Shavanova tell about all this, as well as about the occupation of Chornobyl and the situation at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, tactical nuclear weapons, and Fukushima.

Olena Pareniuk is a candidate for biological sciences in radiobiology. She studies the soil bacteria of the exclusion zone of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, and also expanded the area of her scientific interest to Fukushima and delved into the topic of the destroyed reactor.

Kateryna Shavanova is a candidate for the biological sciences in genetics. Works in R&D in agriculture. Popularizer of scientific knowledge about Chornobyl and radiation.
