  • THE BATTLE OF CHERNOBYL

    Based on top-secret government documents that came to light only after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1999, THE BATTLE OF CHERNOBYL reveals a systematic cover-up of the true scope of the disaster, including the possibility of a secondary explosion of the still-smoldering magma, whose radioactive clouds would have rendered Europe uninhabitable. The government effort to prevent such a catastrophe lasted for more than seven months and sacrificed the lives of thousands of soldiers, miners and other workers.

    THE BATTLE OF CHERNOBYL dramatically chronicles the series of harrowing efforts to stop the nuclear chain reaction and prevent a second explosion, to "liquidate" the radioactivity, and to seal off the ruined reactor under a mammoth "sarcophagus." The film recounts these nerve-racking events through newly available films, videos and photos taken in and around the plant, computer animation, and interviews with participants and eyewitnesses, many of whom were contaminated, including government and military leaders, scientists, workers, journalists, doctors, and Pripyat refugees.
    Interesting film. Explains a lot if you were around during that time.

    Good thing for them that they didn't have tsunami problems, too. Hard to believe they would downplay the facts.
    Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

      The film says it was a communication break down. People say nuke plants are safe. Only takes one to make a waste land.

        In the Dallas News, they had an "expert" saying that if Glen Rose area got hit by an f-5 tornado, you want to be in the reactor structure. I want to see his test data.

            Something tells me I should take what they say with a grain of salt.

              Obviously that's in reference to the document release referenced earlier in the same sentence. ****ty structure though.
