This book provides a study of radiation and environmental safety in north-west Russia. International experts from several related fields offer a thorough understanding of the present status. They suggest how to develop the use of overall risk assessments and environmental impact assessments to ensure a sound use of resources when carrying out the tremendous work that must be carried out to clean up the cold war legacy.
