Excerpt:

Ten days after two steam and hydrogen explosions blew up the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, the fire that melted its core died out spontaneously. But the drama of this catastrophe still flourishes, nourished by politics, authorities, media, and interest groups of ecologists, charitable organizations, and scientists. It lives in the collective memory of the world and propagates real health, social, and economich arm to millions of people in Belarus,Russia, and the Ukraine. It is exploited in attempts to strangle the development of atomic energy, the cleanest, safest, and practically inexhaustible means to meet the world’s energy needs. The world’s uranium resources alone will suffice for the next 470,000 years (IAEA 2008).
