HFS provides print and digital distribution for a distinguished list of university presses and nonprofit institutions. Due to a flawed reactor design as well as human error, Chernobyls reactor number four exploded, setting a record as the worst nuclear disaster in history. Workers shut down the reactor’s power-regulating system and its emergency safety systems, and. The disaster occurred on April 2526, 1986, when technicians at reactor Unit 4 attempted a poorly designed experiment. (see below)Tritium levels in water tested at Vermont Yankee spiked dramatically today, state health officials told legislative leaders.While its easy to. The largest nuclear disaster in history occurred 30 years ago at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in what was then the Soviet Union.
MUSE delivers outstanding results to the scholarly community by maximizing revenues for publishers, providing value to libraries, and enabling access for scholars worldwide. Hear about the April 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power station and the catastrophe caused by the escaping radiation. 'No transgenerational effects of ionizing radiation were observed in adult children of Chernobyl clean-up workers and evacuees in the current study, the scientists reported. Project MUSE is a leading provider of digital humanities and social sciences content, providing access to journal and book content from nearly 300 publishers. The Chernobyl analysis looked for an increase in de novo mutations that might be attributed to radiation exposure, which at high doses can cause genetic damage. With warehouses on three continents, worldwide sales representation, and a robust digital publishing program, the Books Division connects Hopkins authors to scholars, experts, and educational and research institutions around the world. Several studies report more than one estimate of the association between radiation exposure and mutation rate, which generates a nested data structure (effect. With critically acclaimed titles in history, science, higher education, consumer health, humanities, classics, and public health, the Books Division publishes 150 new books each year and maintains a backlist in excess of 3,000 titles. This data set is based on studies assessing mutations in humans exposed to radioactive fallout of the Chernobyl reactor incident, as identified in Mller & Mousseau (2015).
The division also manages membership services for more than 50 scholarly and professional associations and societies. The Journals Division publishes 85 journals in the arts and humanities, technology and medicine, higher education, history, political science, and library science. The Press is home to the largest journal publication program of any U.S.-based university press. One of the largest publishers in the United States, the Johns Hopkins University Press combines traditional books and journals publishing units with cutting-edge service divisions that sustain diversity and independence among nonprofit, scholarly publishers, societies, and associations. The Chernobyl Forum Report, an initiative of the International Atomic Energy Agency, suggested that the effects of radiation on wildlife were negligible.
