Chernobyl - a timely reminder:

The 20th Anniversary of the nuclear power plant disaster at Chernobyl is an opportunity to oppose the nuclear industry.

The link between the nuclear power industry and nuclear weapon proliferation is irrevocable. The expansion of the Australian uranium market only compound this danger. The uranium industry erroneously flout climate change as an excuse to revitalise their multi-billion dollar corporate campaign for nuclear energy.

Reports estimate a total death toll of 93,000 but cite that in Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine alone the accident could have resulted in "an estimated 200,000 additional deaths in the period between 1990 and 2004."

CHERNOBYL BACKGROUND: On April 26th 1986, technicians at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power station in the Ukraine carried out a controlled experiment in the fourth reactor. They deactivated several major safety systems that would have shut down the reactor in case of accident. But the experiment went wrong. Explosions blew the top of the reactor off and started a fire in the core that burned for many days blowing a cloud of deadly radioactivity into the surrounding environment.

The Chernobyl nuclear accident was the biggest nuclear accident ever. The wind carried the radiation cloud over Belarus where 70% of the radiation fell, where more than 2 million people once lived, the ground now heavily contaminated for many thousands of years.
