The NUCLEAR-FREE FUTURE AWARDS
Susan Boos, Switzerland
Categories: Lifetime Achievement and Special Recognition – 2012
The journalist Susan Boos spent months researching the consequences of Chernobyl in 1995. She spoke with clean-up workers, representatives of the authorities, scientists, doctors and people contaminated by the Chernobyl fallout. This can be read in her book “Beherrschtes Entsetzen – das Leben in der Ukraine zehn Jahre nach Tschernobyl” (Controlled horror – life in Ukraine ten years after Chernobyl). In Switzerland, she dealt with her own nuclear policy and wrote, among other things, “Radiant Switzerland” – for which she received the NFFA Honorary Award.
