i think its silly how this one incident puts fear into everyones minds whenever they hear the words nuclear power. bring on the nuclear plants!


pics are awesome as well :P
 
Definitely some incredible pictures.


Some more brave people that gave their lives trying to prevent any further catastrophe:
The smouldering fuel and other material above were starting to burn their way through the reactor floor, mixing with molten concrete that had lined the reactor, and creating a radioactive semi-liquid material comparable to lava. If this mixture had melted through the floor into the pool of water, it would create a massive steam explosion which would eject more radioactive material from the reactor. It became an immediate priority to drain the pool.

Volunteers in diving suits entered the radioactive water and managed to open the gates. These were engineers Alexei Ananenko (who knew where the valves were) and Valeri Bezpalov, accompanied by a third man, Boris Baranov, who provided them with light from a lamp, though this lamp failed, leaving them to find the valves by feeling their way along a pipe. None of the three ever returned to the surface and it is thought one of them died before reaching the gates.

There's a good documentary called 'Chernobyl Heart' about the effects of the disaster on the health of children in the area.
