Please consider the following:<BR/>1) There has never ever been any weapon factory in Chernobyl. As there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Please state the source of your data, otherwise.<BR/>2) Levels of radiation in Chernobyl and surrounding are are still quite high and will be like that for several hundreds if not thousands of years (some of the isotopes found there have very long half-life periods). Moreover, recent studies show that they are constantly spread with ground waters on larger areas. About 1/5 of Belarus territory remains polluted more or less, so do some northern territories of Ukraine.<BR/>3)The explosion had to do with non-competent people who ordered tests on that reactor. If you are interested in a detailed story, please check my posts here http://atomwatch.blogspot.com/search/label/Chernobyl. Otherwise, RBMK reactors are safe enough to operate, that is admitted by IAEA inspections in Ignalina, Lithuania, for example. <BR/>As for other things, I completely agree with your statement on antinuclear propaganda nowadays. Nuclear is far not so evil as it is painted :))) Looking forward your new posts, good luck!<BR/>Best regards,<BR/>Alexandra Prokopenko<BR/>(Belarus/Ukraine blogger currently living in Sweden)Alexandra Prokopenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13558622592614895887noreply@blogger.com
