Chernobyl (1 Viewer)

Did anybody watch the BBC documentary on Chernobyl's new safe confinement?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08650s6/inside-chernobyls-mega-tomb

It's a disaster I've been fascinated with for years. One day soon I hope to visit the area,

Amazing feat of engineering. The new dome has a shelf life of 100 years. Which they hope will give them enough time to dismantle the sarcophagus and reactor 4. Some say that the area wont be habitable for 20,000.

It is, even in an area decimated by a nuclear disaster nature can thrive when it hasn't got humans to contend with.

I like the Idea and the cleanliness and potential abundance.
I don't like the risk, fallout and waste however.
Fusion will be the future when they perfect it.

Am I the only one that is surprised that it's 30 years since Chernobyl and still no superheroes?

You already have it with the likes of Cosmo and Feast Junction etc.

Lots of fusion places these days.
