I have lived through both the Cuban Missile Crisis and Chernobyl. Although I (like most people in the UK) was probably irradiated to some degree as a consequence of Chernobyl the Missile Crisis was much more frightening

Mines from the children’s camp close by. It was a mural on the side of a cabin

I can't even remember posting that
I remember as kids when it rained we'd be catching it on our tongues saying it was stinging and that it's acid rain.I have lived through both the Cuban Missile Crisis and Chernobyl. Although I (like most people in the UK) was probably irradiated to some degree as a consequence of Chernobyl the Missile Crisis was much more frightening
Not watched it yet but I think just the opposite. If a programme or film isn't in the original language I think it sounds stupid having people talking English with a foreign accent.Really good first episode, shame they could not have cast actors with Russian accents. "Eeh by gum Yuri, top come off t'reactor, best put kettle on and we'll have a look" killed some of the authenticity.
Allo allo?Not watched it yet but I think just the opposite. If a programme or film isn't in the original language I think it sounds stupid having people talking English with a foreign accent.
If you meant that it should be in Russian then I agree.
They had work, good homes in a nice place. The children were going to school and had a sense of community away from the communist regime. I could imagine it was almost utopian.There’s a few cultures that I’ve always believed are slightly more naive than ours, and the Soviets are one of those. That statement includes no disparage.
Seeing this (and other documentaries), it’s worrying how little the people understood of the process they were dealing with.
It’s ignorance, but not of their own making.
Poor bastards.

Think that’s scary?I've just been reading that the last reactor was still operating up until year 2000 .
Aye? Tbh it might be safer to keep them intact and operating rather than take the risk of decommissioning them? I'm obviously no expert like.Think that’s scary?
According to the same wiki article, there are STILL ten RBMK reactors of the same type still in operation today
there's the next marvel superhero's franchise right there... mutant wolves!It has apparently even seen the return of wolf packs as the food sources there are so good. That's despite there being a complete cull of all animals to stop the spread of radiation.
