i just watched the documentation "Inside the Sarcophagus" on Youtube and was, again, perplexed by the high cost in human life and the risks the people took upon theirselves. so i searched a bit and found little to nothing on other incidents or newer features on chernobyl (one major cause may be that most of the participants are now dead or terminally ill, i am shocked by the amount of röntgen they are talking about... i dont recall exactly which numbers were allowed dosage in medical facilities, but my dosage meter (which was just an unexposed negative film) said something about milli-Röntgen per year, and those guys run around in 20-1000 R/h areas :crazy: ).

i cant quite understand why i find this so fascinating - maybe its the mixture of the eerie beauty of broken-down structures and their absolute deadliness. but i want to know more, and possibly see more. so, feel free to post your opinions and media regarding nuclear incidents and catastrophes. thanks in advance,

damn that IS cynic

are they used as guinea pigs? i say that because a lot of knowledge about cancer and radiation stems from studeis after hiroshima and nagasaki. i always have the feeling russian organizations dont value life that much...

thanks, that is highly interesting. i think there was an accident at an american plant, something with -burg. aaahh my brains

Yeah, the Battle of Gettysburg.

:roll:

There was Three Mile Island (or something) and there was a minor one in Great-Britain as well, somewhere during the late fifties or early sixties. I forget. Just google 'nuclear disaster' or something, you should find a list somewhere.
 
There was a serious accident at Diablo Canyon California, it was mostly covered up however.
 
There was a based on real life movie called silo 17 about a ICBM that almost took off or exploded accidentally.
 
I heard a company called Rocketdyne contaminated the drinking water here in Southern California from Northridge to Simi Valley with radioactive waste in the '80s and early '90s, they found it was cheaper to pay the fines than dispose of the stuff
