Chernobyl: The Nuclear Disaster that Shook the World

Yannis T. Diamantis, head of the TO VIMA | TA NEA Historical Archive, is joined by Dr Triantafyllos Karatrantos, who holds a Ph.D. in European Security and New Threats and is a Research Associate at ELIAMEP, for a discussion on the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and its broader historical context.
