societal  political  cultural and environmental origins. The magnitude of the nuclear accident
is investigated in this book in the contexts of politics  economy  and society. The authors
scrutinize the relationships between science  technology and society leading to this accident.
Further  the authors reveal how these relationships were constructed historically. This book

cultural dimensions. In addition  analyses for historically grown relationships between
different societal spheres mouthing into disasters are presented using examples of the Minamata
disease (Mercury pollution)  Itai-Itai Disease (Cadmium pollution)  BSE  and GMOs. With this

this book has a distinct global relevance  providing an honest account on different triggers
mouthing into the nuclear disaster. This book not only gives a scientific account. It also can
also contribute to prevent future disasters starting from similar vectors.
