Radiation and R Guide - Resources and Review

Details of the US Department of Energy's cooperative effort to improve safety at Soviet
designed nuclear power plants in eight partnering countries - Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, and Slovakia. Joint projects are correcting major safety deficiencies and establishing nuclear safety infrastructures.
