Russia seizes Chernobyl, stoking radiation levels, nuclear fears

RADIATION, SICKNESS, AND DEATH
IT’S THE SITE OF THE WORLD’S WORST NUCLEAR DISASTER IN HISTORY

THE CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN NORTHERN UKRAINE

NOW THE RUSSIANS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF IT AS THEY INVADE

“AS OF NOW, THE CHERNOBYL ZONE AND ALL THE STRUCTURES OF THE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ARE UNDER CONTROL OF THE RUSSIAN ARMED GROUPS”

SOURCES TELLING REUTERS RUSSIA WANTS CONTROL IN ORDER TO GET NATO TO BACK OFF. 

UKRAINE’S PRESIDENT CALLS IT A DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST ALL OF EUROPE

THE CHERNOBYL DISASTER HAPPENED IN 1986 WHEN A FLAWED REACTOR COUPLED WITH PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T REALLY KNOW HOW TO DO THEIR JOBS – RESULTED IN AN EXPLOSION

THAT SENT RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL INTO THE AIR AND ENTIRE CITIES HAD TO BE EVACUATED

TO THIS DAY THERE’S AN EXCLUSION ZONE BECAUSE THE AREA REMAINS RADIOACTIVE. AND IT COULD BE THAT WAY FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

BUT NOW RADIATION LEVELS ARE REPORTEDLY HIGHER THAN USUAL SINCE RUSSIA TOOK OVER.
