  1.  @Fighterpilot555  - The guys that went in to scrape the bits of reactor core back into the reactor hall and other insanely dangerous things. They essentially know they would die - which is why it is amazing his grandfather is still alive. Some died within hours.

  2. In Florida there are gigantic lakes of industrial pollution that they have no way of processing. The companies were allowed to create the lakes and "store" the pollution until a "solution" was found. When the lakes were full all the companies declared bankrupt and the lakes are still there. As a BONUS the industrial spoil heaps the lakes are built with are radioactive. and the entire mess is not 30+ years old and starting to crumble. Dont think for one second that the west is any better at dealing with the problems of industrialisation...

  4.  @congruentcrib  - Im not saying that is not true - but as the sky itself was literally glowing as the ionising radiation was bombarding it - you would have to be pretty dense to not work out that something was very seriously wrong. The air itself is emitting light - thats deffo not normal. Im pretty sure anyone can work out "nuclear powerplant has exploded" + "the sky its self is emitting light" = BAD

OUPS - QUOTE "report published by members of the Russian Academy of Sciences indicates that there could have been as many as 830,000 people in the Chernobyl clean-up teams. They estimated that between 112,000 and 125,000 of these – around 15% – had died by 2005"

  8.  @OliverFlinn  I know there were miners digging tunnels to get under the core to flood it with water I believe.
