do you remember chernobyl? worked in belarus for 5 years helping families affected by the mess in the ukraine.
scary
September 4th, 2010 at 4:13 am
look at chernobyl?? the wind and air are goin to carry that radiation a very long distance. lets just same it would have a devistating effect on the rest of europe never mind kent
September 4th, 2010 at 4:30 am
the reactor would shut down automatically
chernobyl happened because the engineers by-passed the safety systems and were doing test that were not authorised

I don’t know but I live approx 10 miles (as the crow flies) from Hartlepool nuclear power plant. So if you find the answer please let me know LOL
If all EDF customers were to switch supplier all the nuclear plants in the UK would have to close 🙂

You would glow, there would be no nuclear explosion but all the surrounding area would be irradiated and would be unusable for maybe hundreds of years.
I know dungeness and it would be a shame to see this wonderful and unique place destroyed.

It could spoil your whole day.

there are too many safety devices for that to ever happen. Nuclear reactors do not explode as sucha s a bomb would. They melt down, which is a much slower process.

Greetings! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. Cheers!

Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
