Sinopsis de BURNING CORE

At 1:23 AM on April 26, 1986, reactor number four of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant exploded. In the hours and days that followed, heroism and incompetence collided as the Soviet system tried first to deny, then to contain, then to bury the worst nuclear disaster in history. The core is still burning in its concrete sarcophagus.
This book traces the full arc of Chernobyl. You will learn the physics of what went wrong, the human decisions that made disaster inevitable, and the sacrifices of the liquidators who died preventing worse. You will understand why the Soviet response, from delayed evacuation to doctored radiation readings, turned a catastrophe into a civilizational indictment.
The Burning Core also looks at the aftermath. The exclusion zone became an accidental wildlife sanctuary. The town of Pripyat became a time capsule of Soviet life. And the lessons about institutional failure, about what happens when truth is subordinated to image, remain urgent for any system that operates dangerous technology.
