... the Commissar linked to this narrative of a Ukranian* woman's bike trip through the Chernobyl area. The translation is spotty, but easy to follow, and some of the pictures are subtly disturbing to even the most enthusiastic nuclear supporter (like myself, more or less). Well worth checking out, in other words.
And that, oh my droogies, is it for the night. From me, at least.
*Q: How can you tell if somebody was raised during the Cold War?
A: They still automatically type out 'Russian' for a citizen of any one of the USSR's successor states.
I read that too, and was fascinated.
My first thought was, I'd love to go on one of those bus trips through the area. Sheer fascination.
(I'm not a nuclear power supporter, as you might have guessed. Electricity from nuclear fusion plants is so much more expensive and so much riskier that it really can't be rationally justified.)

Sorry about the multiple Trackback. (Make note to have self shot.)
