Bloody interesting stuff Toto.
I wasn't aware of the threat of the second explosion. An "uninhabitable Europe" would be unthinkable.
Brave, brave men fighting an invisible enemy... Hopefully there is the same bravery shown in Japan.

Hmmm I think TOTO has been exposed to this stuff, explains a lot about why he is the way he is!

thanks Toto that was worth a look. Interestingly it wasn't only the Soviets that lied. When you consider how dependent the French are on Nuclear power their reaction is worrying. Thanks to some very brave Soviets, Russians, Ukrainians etc, we still have a Europe.

Having been in the area during 1988 I think I have found a reason for my hair falling out...
Looking at google earth... fook me, that was closer than first thought.

Luckily not.

Measuring distances is quite handy though!

Gorbachev's comments are very good.
Whenever the greenie bastards object to a power generation scheme, they should be shown a picture of Chernobyl's open reactor and offered that as the alternative, for that's the way they are driving the future.

Pretty sure I have read somewhere this week that they were trying to see if they could run the cooling system with the excess latent heat in case of losing power.

Irony much?
