Wikipedia article
'Chernobyl' is a novel by Frederik Pohl published in 1987. It is based on the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Plot summary
'Chernobyl' is a novel in which the characters must choose between accepting substandard materials or delaying an already overdue reactor schedule.
Reception
Dave Langford reviewed 'Chernobyl' for 'White Dwarf' #98, and stated that "Avoiding Evil Empire stereotypes, Pohl does his own country a service by reminding us that lots of Americans detest the knee-jerk, anti-commie paranoia which sometimes seems to be the US national stereotype. The technical background is all there too, in palatable form."
