It makes me feel old as frick that 1986 was 30 years ago.


It happened on the day of my senior prom when I was a senior in high school. It makes me feel even older that Three Mile Island was 37 years ago. I still remember that as a kid.

You can see the effects of the radiation in the photos taken during the event. The radiation caused all the photos to have streaks at the bottom. It has the effect of visually capturing the radiation people were being exposed to.

Very interesting to learn all about Chernobyl. It happened before I was born, but after working with a lot of neutron experiments recently it's hard to think about a reactor on this scale exploding. There's so many safety precautions to prevent radiation now that I'd hope nothing like this ever happens again

I know how you feel. I was just over a week away from turning 16 this time 30 years ago. Damn.

There are something like 17 nuclear reactors built on fault lines in the US alone.

Which is why a safety related 2" valve costs 30k.

Seismic qualifications in nuke plants is no joke.
