Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Ukraine marks
30th anniversary of Chernobyl disaster
30 years have
passed but still abandoned. That’s what Chernobyl is now. Over a quarter
million people were forced to move to safety places from their homeland. There
still is a 30-kilometer exclusion zone from the melt-down reactor. Works to
construct a mega shield structure to cover the reactor are ongoing. But it will
still take decades to remove the radioactive materials from the reactor. There
seems to be no hope for this ghost town to revive in the foreseeable future.
It was a combination
of an accident and human errors, no matter what the initial cause was. The same
was true for the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
The lesson
humans should learn from these two nuclear disasters is never say never.
Read this
article and watch the video to learn how things could go wrong.
