I remember when it ahppened in 1986..
The reports came in about radiation detectors running amok in Sweden for no apparent reason, and the source being pinpointed to somehwhere in Kiev, Ukraine (Link Courtesy The BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION) (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4028729.stm)
When first asked about it, the reply was: "There's nothing wrong HERE!!" :rolleyes:
When the radiation WAS indeed confirmed as being from a site in the USSR, and queried FURTHER, the reply STILL was: "There is NOTHING wrong!" :hmm:
Finally, backed into a corner, and confronted with the TRUTH that COULD NOT be DENIED, the answer from the Reactor Personnel was: "Oh, we MIGHT possibly have a SMALL problem.." :mad:
And DOZENS, HUNDREDS (THOUSANDS??) of pregnant Swedish females were exposed to this, as well as the WATER for drinking, the SOIL for crops, and the VEGETABLES grown therein.. :(
They never, EVER 'fessed up to being TOTALLY accountable for the problem .. even TODAY, now DID they?
And I oft times WONDER.......IF any of the pals I used to know & hang out with in that part of Sweden were affected in any way...
And how MUCH damage has indeed been inflicted on that WONderful little fiefdom of the globe?
How MANY people have SUFFERED?....WILL suffer? ...
And WHAt is YET to COME?? :(
