chernobyl


I meant to put something down on the 25th of April as a commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. But I was fatigued by a weekend boozing session with Daxton and Spudato. So much so I didn't even drink for a digger.

Some people say that the Chernobyl nuclear disaster is much more benign that people would have you believe. See this study for examples of how the cancer rate in the region is not exceptional.

Or for a less contentious commentary you might like this UK site

If you are more technically minded you might like this breakdown of the events leading up to the loudest bang the area ever heard. Or you can screw the truth and have a look at this made up travelogue of a person biking through the radioactive zone.

Cheers to the Ukraine from Australia.
