… On this day in 1986 a nuclear reactor accident occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union (now Ukraine), creating the world's worst nuclear disaster. I look on this accident as proof that the doomsayers had always been wrong. The only people killed were plant workers and the area around Chernobyl is now pretty much recovered in wildlife. In fact, it has become a haven for wildlife. The accident was caused when a government ordered special test went out of control. Operators warned the man ordering the test that this was not something that was supposed to be done.
