I do remember Chernobyl as a news event 1986.
I was working in a Chemical Engineering Lab at the time (in NZ) , running "Process Control" labs using equipment similar to what you find in any Process Control room... lights and buttons and switches which ultimately control pumps, valves, flow of reagents, tank levels etc. I also visited REAL WORLD chemical process sites.. and control rooms very similar to what you see portrayed in the Chernobyl series. Sure the stuff I saw was NOT NUCLEAR and so a cock-up would not have dire wide consequences.. but local chemical plant explosions/leaks can be pretty serious
Anyway... it occurs to me that people I know who are "concerned about passive cigarette smoke"... even outdoors.. and who see "Climate Change" of perhaps 1 degree in a 100 years, as a "Climate Crisis", need to get a GRIP and look at Chernobyl. I know people in Scandinavia... who chose to settle there... and yet the entire region was hit with Chernobyl fallout.. and is far more at risk from future "radioactive dust" A HUGE radioactive cloud that showed as fallout right across all of Northern Europe, Scandinavia, the UK. Downplayed by authorities, but sufficient to cause Milk and farm crops withdrawn and disposed of. The Radioactive dust that already settled is STILL there.. likely buried.. but will remain radioactive for decades (if not longer) in all these countries. And Chernobyl is STILL THERE.. encased in a cover, but who knows if that will never suffer some sort of leak? And... there are 20 more Soviet reactors (and other nation's reactors) which all contain the SAME sort of toxic radioactive substances... supposedly well confined.. but who know if that will remain true for 100 years??
MORE to worry about than "passive smoking" or imaginary "Climate Crisis" IMO
