Chernobyl - Sky Atlantic
Anyone been watching this ? Just watched the latest episode, excellent so far. Some of the scenes where they spell it out to the leaders is very sobering. Very well filmed and a very eastern block feel as it's all so dulled down. Lots of soviet era vehicles as well to look at.

Just at the moment tho’ I am so busy I have not found the time to watch it. She did tell me about the female Physicist who reported to a manager that had previously run a Soviet shoe factory |

My wife had cancer in the late nineties because of Chernobyl. It’s a miracle she survived. Having visited the old USSR a few times to see family it was and remains a place of total corruption at the cost of health and safety. It’s one thing having a nuclear capability but are you fit enough to have it and run it safely?

I haven't seen this weeks yet, but after watching the others it actually makes you wonder what we are doing to this very wonderful world we live in. I found it actually scary to watch and think it could happen again. Excellent show, though.

Having worked in the Nuclear Sector as a classified worker and having the experience of a criticality (False alarm luckily) I have found it quite unnerving!

Their operation was so botched, amateurish and arrogant that innocent people were killed or suffered life changing injuries. And whilst this was the first use of the nerve agent Novochok it is certainly NOT the first time Russia has acted in this way. |

I'm not so sure about our own complacency regarding Nuclear safe practices either P.s. Great series and brings back scary memories of the event.
