accidents.

Key word there.

This year the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl will be released. The creators of this game used real photo's of the Chernobyl area, including the ghost town, as a base for the level design. I'm really looking forward to it's release.

wasnt it sealed inside a giant concrete tomb? or is that another place? i forget my nuclear accidents.

the site mentioned this fact, but the reason why the "giant concrete tomb" is not adequate is because it was built hastily, and will need to be resealed. also, she mentioned the factor of degradation, but I didn't read the details. I can only infer this meant the extremely high levels of radiation contribute to the overall degradation of the seal they had added.

however, even a concrete seal does nothing for the radiation that was emmited and absorbed into the earth and surrounding environment, since it's already been released. it's not like you can put the genie back into the bottle, so to speak.

Some people were exposed to so much radiation that their shadows were burned into the pavement.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Hiroshima.

Yeah they bombarded that reactor with concrete from helicopters or something.

edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_accident

In order to limit the scale of the disaster, the Soviet government sent in workers to try to clean up. Many "liquidators"—members of the army and other workers—were sent in as cleanup staff; most were not told anything about the danger. Effective protective gear was unavailable. The worst of the radioactive debris was collected inside what was left of the reactor; the reactor itself was covered with sandbags thrown off helicopters (some 5,000 tons during the week following the accident). A large steel sarcophagus was hastily erected to seal off the reactor and its contents.

The workers involved in the recovery and cleanup after the accident received high doses of radiation. In most cases, these workers were not equipped with individual dosimeters to measure the amount of radiation received, so experts can only estimate their doses. Even where dosimeters were used, dosimetric procedures varied. Some workers are thought to have been given more accurate estimated doses than others. According to Soviet estimates, between 300,000 and 600,000 people were involved in the cleanup

I saw a TV programme here a few months ago about this. It wasn't the topic of the programme, that was on something to do with global warming. Anyway, the guy in the programme visited the reactor and actually went inside. Was quite eerie footage.

o yeah, i saw that

im pretty sure you need to look at that link

lolol ol someone went inside the reactor? sick

P.S.
