Chernobyl at 25: Nuclear Site Still Hot

A fire and explosion ripped through the Chernobyl nuclear power plant 25 years ago. The disaster is being marked by photos and interviews in what is now.

This is a video, and i didn't watch it, so you can watch it, and tell me what it shows.

95% of that video is flashbacks and interviews with a few photographers of the time. (One is shown, in 1985, wearing a facemask!, taking his photos near the 'deadly radiation'). The last 5% shows a yellow radioactivity symbol, and a man also in a facemask holding up a red handheld device, with a hissing noise - no indication of what it's supposed to be measuring. No photos of vegetation however. The wrecked concrete rectangular thing is the star. (Six years before the official fall of the Soviet Union).

This gives me a thought:

If you are the in power Elite, and you fear that there's going to be social or economic breakdown, you might worry that some of your secrets might be revealed.

What happens when you can't afford to pay the guards to guard the nuclear plant because of economic chaos? Well, the general public might start going into the plant looking for something to loot, and discover that there's no reactor core in there like you might expect. In order to prevent this from occurring, you might go and destroy the plant before the social breakdown occurs.

That makes me wonder. In Japan, they've been in recession for twenty years. Their debt is worse than the USA. So maybe they're going the way of Russia, so they destroy their reactors. Germany is going to go broke funding the EU.

Is destroying or shutting down nuclear power stations a sign that the power elite in that nation fear that the 'handwriting is on the wall' for that nation?

Hm. Some things - records, files - are quite easy to destroy. But big installations are different. You could well be right that destroying fake 'nuclear power stations' is the large-scale equivalent of shredding records. The WTC7 portion of 9/11 after all was to destroy records. Maybe it's time for 'unexpected' explosions at some big NASA sites. (And the CIA?)

It's so depressing to realize that NASA has been a colossal hoax. It seemed such a beautiful thing when I was growing up, and was something for America to be proud of. Now it turns out it was the biggest money laundering operation ever.
