POLISH MEMORIES OF CHERNOBYL...April 26th 1986

What are your memories of that day in 1986 when nuclear power showed what it can do if you are not carefull with it..?????????

Ternopil' oblast'

it was a sunny hot day in Poland and many people were walking freely, my mum took me for my first day in kindergarten, she said later when I was older, she would never do that if she knew.

China Syndrome.
What does that actually mean.

three mile island.

she remembers being taken from school to some clinic where she was made to drink some kind of medicine...

Jedna z koleżanek, córka wojskowego, powiedziała jednak, że „bardzo dziękuje za lugolę, bo dostała już przedwczoraj”
[when all the children were drinking Lugol's solution]
One friend, a daughter of a military officer, said however, „thank you very much, but I got it two days ago”

Ciało Zbigniewa Wołoszyna, fizyka z Centralnego Laboratorium Ochrony Radiologicznej, znaleziono pod blokiem – było otwarte okno
The bodu of Zbigniew Wołoszyn, a scientist from the Central Laboratory of Radiological Protection, was found on the ground - the window [of his appartment] was open

There was no investigation, they called it a suicide, but according to his friends, Wołoszyn, underground „Solidarity” member, carried his own measurements of radiation after the Chernobyl disaster and was gathering proves that all the procedures were wrong and the level of contamination higher. He was supposed to write all the notes and results in a notebook that went missing after his death.

Professor Ida Kinalska (Akademia Medyczna in Białymstok) carried studies „Czarnobyl I” (right after the disaster) i „Czarnobyl II” (10 years later), which showed that the thyroid in many people living in the contaminated areas of NW Poland had absorbed radioactive dust and got bigger, in children there were also bening nodules observed [small tumors, usually not cancer]. Bigger than normal presence of antibodies which results in hyperthyroidism, but most of all 10 times bigger number of patients with thyroid cancer!

Is there a group in Poland that organizes a trip to go to Chernobyl? I've been trying to do this for some time now but I always get side tracked.

To those of you living in Poland, how do you feel about the "event?" Are you concerned?

I was born 13 days after Chernobyl

When i first moved to Poland i met a girl called Aneta , a teacher , who was only a child when Chernobyl made its mark on the world , she remembers being taken from school to some clinic where she was made to drink some kind of medicine...

ask the ex commie authorities. the rest of polish citizens were informed a few days after.

Does any one remember if the scientists in charge if the "experiment" were Ukrainian or Russian?

Communism is the worst thing that could have happened to this world.

I'm currently reading Life Exposed-Biological Citizens after Chernobyl. It's a disturbing, heart breaking read

You could fill that pool and its good as new :)

(almost)

I think its called the China syndrome because somebody said it could in theory melt its way to China...

I'm not communism fan, but I can easily remember at least ten things that can happen to the world and that is much worse than communism. ;)getQuotation('Velund',2,947863);

200% of Ukrainians have low IQ due to Chernobyl incident

I am also not quite sure the Gypsy blood makes them stupid...My Russian girlfriend is half gypsy

Actually recent polls show that 200% of Ukrainians have low IQ
