I found it interesting that Chernobyl and Fukushima were the only "7s" on the INES scale.  Next is the Kyshtym disaster (a Soviet disaster in the 1950s) which is a 6.  All the other nuclear radiation events are level 5 and lower.  (3 Mile Island was a 5).  Here is the list from Wiki.

Yes I have, plus I'm looking forward to the Russian version where they say that the CIA created the explosion. :hystery:

I found the tv series very interesting,  whilst we can poke fun at it now , the world came very close to a major disaster 

The post production real story was very informative,  a great many people risked their lives and died as a result of the explosion 

I cant help but think of the poor ordinary firemen who died as a result of their courageous actions

It was also the firemen who took the short straw at the Twin towers , even today people are dying as a result of inhaling the asbestos from the tower blocks

Firemen are probably the great unsung heros of this world
