Hello.
I just noticed there is no entry on Chernobyl, and I'm a bit pushed for time myself at the moment, but if there are any takers.

I did an essay on Chernobyl at Uni, or at least the causes. It was about 15 years ago but I'll see if I can dig it out.

If you could do an entry on it from your notes that would be great. To help out I have done a quick bit of web searching and come up with a few useful links:

Well, never found my report. It only covered the technical stuff anyway and there's loads on the web; thanks for those links.

Here it is - A2851751. I think may have rambled a bit again. Will probably continue to tweak before putting it into PR, but as always comments and suggestions are welcome.
