V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yes. The terrible consequences of Soviet design, manufacture, and incompetence regarding the Chernobyl nuclear power plant failure may never really be known in their entirety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abarbarian Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The direct consequences of the accident were felt in Scotland until 2010 when the last of the agricultural restrictions put in place following the catastrophe were lifted. Dr Richard Dixon, Director of Friends of the Earth Scotland, said the ferocity and heat of the original blast sent radioactive plume around the world seven times and added further contamination through fires was a possibility. Residue of Saharan sand storms can be found in parts of Scotland every year and in the past, carcinogenic dust from a dried-out Russian lake once used as a nuclear waste dumping ground has been found thousands of miles away. An how many other places did it fall on as the cloud travelled around the world 7 times ? An what about the spread of contaminants from all the tests done by all of the nuclear powers all around the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
