About This Item
London: Paddington Press, 1978. Hardcover. Good +/good. London: Paddington Press, 1978. Hardcover. Good +/good. Hardback. 1st Edition. Good+/Good. The incredible and disturbing true story of the fall to Earth of the Soviet spy satellite, Cosmos 954. Although US authorities knew in advance that the satellite - and its 100-pound load of enriched uranium 235 - could conceivably crash down on a major city, such as Miami or Las Vegas, nothing was done to alert the public. When Cosmos finally fell to Earth in a remote part of northern Canada, the authorities relief was quickly replaced by a sense of urgency to minimize the contamination from its radioactive core. This is the full story of the search and clean-up operation mounted by the American Nuclear Emergency Search Team, and by Canada's Nuclear Accident Support Team. Fascinating but chilling reading. Size, 24 x 15.5cm, 208 pages, 12 pages of b&w photos and 2 maps. Ex-library, front endpaper shows remains of date label, some library markings. Blue cloth boards in good pictorial dust jacket. Internally good+: generally clean, bright and unmarked in excellent bindings.
