country and the region as a whole. The threats from nuclear accidents differ in the various
countries of the region. The most serious nuclear threats are those with cross-border
implications and are generally assumed to be due to the presence of nuclear reactors of
various kinds. Some countries in the region, Finland, Germany, Lithuania, the Russian
Federation and Sweden, have nuclear power plants, and several countries in the region
possess smaller research reactors. Other nuclear threats arise from nuclear powered naval
vessels or submarines, and from nuclear powered satellites. Production, transportation, use,
and disposal of radioactive materials constitute potential local nuclear hazards. Finally,
terrorist use of radioactive material poses a nuclear threat to all countries. | | Publication date: | 01 Jan 1972 | | ISBN: | ISBN: 87-7893-132-0 | | Number of downloads: | 4 | | Download: |  NKS-76.pdf |
