RESIDUAL RISK - An Account of Events in Nuclear Power Plants Since the Chernobyl Accident in 1986

The Greens in the European Parliament have released a study of accidents that have taken place in nuclear reactors since Chernobyl. Researchers at the Union of Concerned Scientists, and institutes in Germany and Austria carried out the study which was coordinated by Mycle Schneider in France. Schneider states that "In the course of the last twenty years, the world has lived with the illusion that it is possible to make nuclear reactors safe. In reality, every day, countless incidents occur in nuclear reactors, and, since Chernobyl, catastrophe has, on several occasions, only narrowly been avoided."
