I have the ultimate respect for those who gave their lives to help safeguard the health of potentially millions of others in the wake of the Chernobyl disaster, 1986.

Jessica: yeah it is a creepy place, sad but also fascinating to read about the situation people had to deal with as best they could at the time. Chernobyl Reactor 4 and Pripyat stand as cautionary reminders for those dealing with nuclear energy. Reactor 4 was where the explosion happened; the other three reactors continued to be used, with the last finally being shut down in December 2000!
Liam: it must have been so chaotic and terrifying when the disaster had just happened, it seems the Russian government tried to cover up the details of exactly how bad it was until radiation sensors at a power station in Sweden showed warning levels!
