What Chernobyl Day has to tell us: Youth gives hope - 33 years after the reactor disaster
Many older people still remember exactly what they were doing on April 26, 1986: The day when a reactor in Chernobyl, then still in the Soviet Union, blew up for all to see. But even 33 years later, only a few leading politicians around the world have understood this: Nuclear power is not a peaceful, environmentally friendly source of electricity, but an ever-present danger to humans, animals and the earth. New nuclear reactors are still being built, for example in the Czech Republic.
