From the viewpoint of welfare of humanity, the Chernobyl accident has been one of the greatest disasters of this century; from the viewpoint of science and phenomenology, it has been a highly interesting physical ``experiment exhibiting several unknown and unexpected features. Mathematically, certain filtration equations describing cooling processes are most appropriate. In this book, the authors propose and discuss various types of such equations. The first chapter deals with the statement of the problem of heat evolution of the damaged block, and with its mathematical modelling. Solvability conditions are discussed in the second chapter; here a crucial point is the computation of a certain critical level where stationary solutions are destroyed (which leads to effects of ``dry boiling). In the third chapter, several models for the behaviour of the damaged block when exceeding the critical level are established. Asymptotic methods are applied in the fourth chapter to study the qualitative structure of the solutions, depending on the state of the damaged block. Finally, the fifth chapter is concerned with numerical simulations (also computer-aided) of the solutions considered so far from the theoretical viewpoint. Initially intended only as an ``empirical guide for preventing, or at least predicting, further accidents, this book has become a self- contained valuable mathematical contribution to completely new topics in the theory of filtration cooling. A soon translation into English (which, to the reviewer's knowledge, is projected by Springer-Verlag) would be very useful in order to make this fascinating booklet accessible to a wider readership and audience.
