APRIL 26 - THE DAY OF THE CHERNOBYL MELTDOWN IN 1986 - PHOTOS - There was interest in a Soviet accident then. - Now Fukushima is many times worse, but world reaction is apathy.

Chernobyl then and now: 28 haunting images from nuclear disaster

 

Abandoned school - Daily Mail photo

Chernobyl was the first nuclear power plant in Soviet Ukraine, a flagship of the peaceful atomic energy program of the USSR. Just 3 kilometers from the plant, the city of Pripyat was built. 

 

 Its purpose was to house nuclear experts and workers servicing the plant, as well as security troops.  On the morning of April 26, 1986 a technical experiment went awry, sending Reactor No. 4 into meltdown.

NOTE:  What United Nations members want out of nuclear reactors is a means for harvesting weapons-grade plutonium. 
April 2014 - In spite of nuclear disasters and the inability to deal with nuclear waste, the UN advocates for the construction of more nuclear power plants to avoid too much CO2 and "global warming'.

Scientists and disaster documentaries avoid addressing the issue of widespread nuclear meltdowns in case of a major disaster as a direct or indirect result of megatsunamis, supervolcano eruptions, earthquakes, or an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) caused by a major solar flare hitting North America and destroying the electric grid.  All these disasters are not a matter of IF but WHEN.
