Theres a fascinating account of Chernobyl by a woman that managed to
get through the security cordon and have a good look round the site,
taking lots of pictures. I didnt re-find the address though.
Helana's ride? That's a hoax.
Allowing a little for artistic license, how is it a hoax? Are the
facts and figures grossly misrepresented? I'm sure there's a sizeable
pro-nuclear lobby who would claim so, but only as convincingly as some
of the more fanciful claims of the pro-tobacco lobby.
Really it makes no difference to the key points whether that site's
hoaxed or not. I dont think it is, but either way the arguments for and
against each power option are exactly the same.
I don't see how, in terms of devastating effect, the deaths of miners
are on a par with the deaths of nuclear power workers, firemen,
sacrificial soldiers and swathes of the local population. This
combined with the rendering of vast tracts of land uninhabitable by
humans for at least hundreds of years. Nothing "exactly the same"
there as far as I can see.
Typical antinuke camp nonsense.
