If you haven`t seen this site, look at what`s happening in Chernobyl today. Elena is a real character. Her other site, The Serpent`s Wall, is worth a visit, dealing with metal detector hunting on the battlefields around Kiev.

Hi, Rei, as I understand it, the PBRs are helium cooled to avoid the dangers of water, and since helium doesn`t become radioactive in the event of a meltdown (Wikipedia), the chances of a blowout causing widespread contamination are reduced. With China planning on implementing 1000 PBRs in the future, let`s hope they get it right.

Elena says her father is a nuclear physicist, but I don`t remember if he is associated with the Chernobyl area. One would hope he has provided sufficient warning of the dangers involved. But, I suppose, like the long-term exposure to depleted uranium in Iraq,we might have to wait and see what the future brings to the Ukraine.
