Topic Reading-Vol.1479-4/29/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Ukraine marks 30th anniversary of Chernobyl disaster
30 years have passed but still abandoned. That’s what Chernobyl is now. Over a quarter million people were forced to move to safety places from their homeland. There still is a 30-kilometer exclusion zone from the melt-down reactor. Works to construct a mega shield structure to cover the reactor are ongoing. But it will still take decades to remove the radioactive materials from the reactor. There seems to be no hope for this ghost town to revive in the foreseeable future.
It was a combination of an accident and human errors, no matter what the initial cause was. The same was true for the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
The lesson humans should learn from these two nuclear disasters is never say never.
Read this article and watch the video to learn how things could go wrong.
