A Fine first printing of the first edition in alike dust-jacket; In Chain Reaction, Nicholas Guild tells the riveting story of a small group of scientists who risked everything to help prevent the deadliest nuclear disaster in history.On the morning of September 26, 1979, a nuclear reactor in the Soviet Union went off course. If it had continued on its original course, the reactor would have exploded, releasing a radioactive cloud over Europe that would have killed millions.But four scientists—three Americans and a Soviet—had the presence of mind to realize what was happening and take action. They made a series of risky decisions, including shutting down the reactor’s cooling system, that prevented a global catastrophe.Chain Reaction is a story of courage and determination, of the power of teamwork and the importance of good judgement. It is also a tale of the limits of science, and the fragility of human life.; 8vo; $6.50.
