I hope the younger generation has such cajones to face almost certain death to save others when their time comes.I'm trying hard to imagine anyone in America doing what these brave (former)Soviet citizens doing if it happened here.
I keep getting visions of said employees rushing to either the cameras or their lawyers.
Probably both as the reactors go "China syndrome"

Thanks for that post. I wonder if the families were looked after well? I sure hope so.

Doesnt mean I would eat any fish caught in Japanese waters, though...
Atmospheric fallout from Chinese nuclear testing in the seventies was so severe that Eastman Kodak had to shut down their print film coating facility because the radiation was affecting the product. Those of us alive at the time, I have read, all have some radiation in our bones from those days.
I wonder if we carry around a little Chernobyl souvenir too.

How do I get the pictures? I get titles and blank spaces.

That’s an amazing and excellent story. They are like that hero French policeman a few weeks ago who exchanged himself for a hostage. Thanks for posting.

The islands where we tested atomic bombs following WWII is further circumstantial evidence to support your theory.
There is a lot of life there, something that wasn’t supposed to happen for a long time yet.

There is an interesting video series on YouTube on Chernobyl. The most interesting part of it was that they followed the scientists who monitored it for years. They pointed out that it took a terrible toll on the scientists health but when they made the video only one of them had actually died and he died of heart disease. They blamed it on stress from his job. Had nothing to do with radiation.

In Japan from 1958 to 1963 there were times that we couldn't go outside for almost two weeks because of the radiation coming down in the rain from the clouds that had formed from the Chinese and Russian nuclear tests. USAF reconnaissance brought back tiptanks that sampled the air of the clouds headed to Japan and enabled for Japan to issue the warnings.

The University of Tennessee's College of Veterinary Medicine necropsied the last surviving animal of the Bimini Atoll detonations in 1983. The donkey died of old age.

I couldnt find if the 3 were Russians, Ukrainians, or from other occupied former-Soviet nations.

Sounds like internet urban legend from the early 1990s...

Wow, I’d never heard of that.
That’s 35 years ago, and only what, 20 years after the last test?

There are loads of them out there. I don’t turn off my ad blocker. When the pop up tells me to turn it off I hit refresh and then stop the page from loading by hitting the x. it works for me.
