The International Day of Remembrance of Victims of Radiation Accidents and Catastrophes is marked in the majority of the countries today. The memorable date – the 26th of April – is chosen not accidentally. The largest man-caused catastrophe in the history of the mankind – the accident at Chernobyl – has occurred on this very day in 1986.
The Chernobyl accident was not only a great tragedy and a major environmental catastrophe of the 20th century, but also a lesson to all mankind, showing that out-of-control nuclear power does not recognize borders. Unfortunately, it echoes will be heard for a long time and affect more than one generation of people. |
