Hi Mongo:
___Working in the nuclear industry, I know what happened at Chernobyl w/ great detail but I have not seen the impact as Elena has so eloquently and emotionally put into words and pictures. Her pages were very moving …
___If you have been or are in contact with her; please pass on a thank you from me. I am passing on the link to others as a reminder of what some have had to go through in the former Soviet Union as well as the Ukraine in the area of Chernobyl in particular. My step mother and step father were native Ukrainian’s so it brings the area and the torment of those that had lived there that much closer to my heart.
___Good Luck and God Bless

Well. I am not in contact with her on any p[articular level. However, I have seen that particular link through the USA Today website and posted up where I originally found it at Notquitereality.org. It is also on Nates site at Biodieselnow.com.
It is amazing that this came amazingly close to happening some 30 years almost right here in the good ole USA.(3 mile Island of course) Can you imagine perhaps Harrisburg PA right through to Philadelphia being uninhabitable for over 600 years!!!
I an only hope the nuclear industry in this country employs nothing less than the brightest and most conciencious engineers that are in the field today. This is stuff that should be handled gentler than glass.
