Interesting insight into the events on the 26 April 1986 from the official photographer .

Its probably a good job his Kiev 6 and Zenit where built like the proverbial tank considering the environment he was working in .

Very interesting, a testimony about one of the biggest industrial tragedies of the century... one that will leave scars for centuries and centuries...

A tragedy and a lesson for everyone in every country using nuclear energy. I doubt privately owned facilities in a 'for profit' world will be any better than the state run ones.

Unfortunately for Mr Anatoly Rasskazov, the event wrecked his health and he received no compensation. His country acted reprehensibly to someone who went beyond the normal parameters of duty to an employer. Even in a state "for and by workers" the little guy is at risk. There's a lesson there too.

The containment vessel at '3 mile island' went to the design pressure...

Thank you Paul. Yet another reminder of the extraordinary courage of "ordinary people".

Cheers, Ian
