Emission standards for major air pollutants
279
Emission Standards for Major Air Pollutants, OECD Rep., 1984, 65 pp. This report contains a compendium of national emission standards for energy facilities in force in OECD countries at the beginning of 1984. An Annex contains a comparison of national emission standards.
Oceanus. Int. Magazine of Marine Science and Policy, edited by P.R. Ryan, Published by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. For information, contact: N. Premdas, Cambridge University Press, Edinburgh Bdg., Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge CB2 2RU, U.K. or Oceanus Subscriber Service Center, P.O. Box 6419, Syracuse, NY 13217, U.S.A. This journal, which is published quarterly, contains articles on various aspects of marine science of interest to scientists and non-scientists which are presented in a clear manner, and lavishly illustrated to a very high standard. Oceanus provides an up-to-date account of important areas of interest and, the science aside, makes good reading material which should interest a wide audience.

Summary Report on the Post-Accident Review Meeting on the Chernobyl Accident, Rep. Int. Nuclear Safety Advisory Comm. Safety Series No. 75-INSAG-1STI/PUB/740, IAEA, Vienna, 1986, 106 pp. Price: Aust. Sch. 260. This report summarizes a meeting held in Vienna 25-29 August 1986 on the Chernobyl accident. It is a tribute to the IAEA t h a t such a meeting was held, attended by some 500 participants including most importantly a team from the U.S.S.R. The accident has had world-wide repercussions on the nuclear industry; this report presents details of the accident which are reported in a very readable manner. The events leading up to the accident are described in detail, together with those actions which were taken to reduce the loss of radionuclides; radiological implications are also identified, especially follow-up activities. The accident concerned Chernobyl Unit 4 which contained a radioactive inventory of about 4 x 1019Bq; experts from the Soviet Union estimate t h a t about 1 x 10is to 2 x 10is Bq were released from the fuel during the accident, together with release of Xe and Kr gas. Losses mainly concerned readily evaporated nuclides, while the loss of refractory radionuclides such as Ba, Sr, Pu, etc. were between 3 and 6%. Not all the losses from the fuel escaped into the environment as a significant proportion were trapped by various materials at the site. The cause of the accident was successive violations of established operating
