Can't help but think there's a political agenda here somewhere - but, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean you're not being followed... ;)

Breaking news for you :) If you had watched the show, it wasn't the reactor that caused the explosion it was the spent fuel storage area that overheated because the chillers went offline after the diesel generators ran out of fuel.

Didn't see the show, but I don't think that's a "reactor melting down" - jus' sayin'...

who said meltdown?

I was just using it as a term. The fires burn the power plants and release radiation into the air.

Downloading it now, seems like it should be interesting.

Have you guys seen The Mars Underground?

Sorta OT but, sorta On T...
links to a pretty remarkable site: a Russian woman whom has
ridden into and through Chernobyl, and taken many pics while
there.

Here's the photo(s) link:
http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/ki...s/highres.html

And, the Home Page the link above comes from:
http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/ki...eed/index.html

Not the easiest site to navigate and the pics won't win any photo
awards, but the subject and her "ballz" and story are pretty fookin
amazing to me.

Great site, I've seen it before MD
I will try to make a story about it in TIME magazine

How long before she gets breast cancer? Just because you cannot see it or feel it does not mean it is not hurting you.
