After just a quick peek at work - that may be one of the coolest sites I've run across. Nice-lookin' babe 'n bike, too.

I am shocked, stunned, amazed and without words for this photo essay.

Wow is all I can say.

[BraveMan]

Wow. This renders a person speechless . . .

Sad bump . . .

The whole "kiddofspeed" story is an over-dramatised soap opera! I am Ukrainian. I’m a qualified power engineer and I know the details of the Chernobyl accident and the RBMK reactor design. I've been to Chernobyl and around the exclusion zone three times over the last year. This website was set up in order to satisfy Western demand for sensations.
Number of people died from direct impact of radiation during first days is around a couple of dozens, mainly firemen and first "liquidators". There were no people from Pripyat who died, as this woman says, just due to radiation they received while watching NPP’s "glow" from the roof of the tallest building in Pripyat. Population of Pripyat and nearby area was evacuated within first week, everyone received due medical treatment and stayed monitored for years. People were given newly built accommodation with all required facilities all over Ukraine where they could carry on their professional careers (normally in other power plants).
All this nightmare-stories are directed to the attention of the narrow-minded Western public.

Meanwhile public opinion in Ukraine is generally pro-nuclear. Recent poles show that 43% of Ukrainians strongly support the completion of two new reactors which are due to begin their operation by the end of 2004.

Lots of useful facts can be found on http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/chernobyl/inf07.htm
This is the World Nuclear Association.
I would advise you to read about radiation that every one of us receives while flying. Believe me, nowadays I can't find in Chernobyl a place with the radiation level higher then in a plane while flying London-Kiev. As the Aviation Health Institute states: "[high altitude] exposure can rise from 100 to 300 times more than at sea level". This is far too higher radiation level than around "Sarcophagus" itself!
