Chernobyl Anniversary Video

Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant24 years ago (April 26, 1986) one of the reactors at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine ( near Prypiat) had a meltdown. The resulting fire sent radioactive fallout into the atmosphere over an extensive geographical area. This accident is considered to be the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and generated concerns around the safety of nuclear power plants. Dr. Janette Sherman, editor of the book Chernobyl, discusses these concerns in a short video clip on icarevillage.com
