History Lesson...

It's a town in Russia where, in 1986, there was a nuclear explosion that contaminated a large surrounding area. Google it and see if I'm right. ;)vgm007

That's it. We did a section on it in my history class.

On April 26th, 1986, the fourth reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Powerplant, exploded at 01:23 AM local time. The workers were performing an experiment with the reactor's safety systems. Problems occurred during the tests, the reactor did not receive enough coolant, had built up too much heat in the core and had fully withdrawn control rods, all of which contributed to a very unstable and unpredictable reactor operation. When the control rods were reinserted in an attempt to regain control of the unstable reactor, there was a sudden increase in reactivity, caused by the design of the RBMK reactor and its control rods, and an uncontrollable runaway reaction occurred. The reactor produced tremendous amounts of steam, eventually causing a steam break/explosion, which destroyed part of the reactor. Graphite fires broke out, due to the high temperatures of the reactor and that the graphite was exposed to oxygen, causing it to burn, which occurred after the reactor was damaged from the steam explosion. Radioactive debris was flung several miles, and smoke containing radioactive contaminants from the burning graphite, traveled as far as Belarus. All permanent residents of Chernobyl and the Zone of Alienation were evacuated because radiation levels in the area had become unsafe. Contaminated milk was blamed for childhood sicknesses across Europe.

The Chernobyl City and its surrounding suburbs are now home to nuclear scientists, maintenance officials for the Chernobyl Power Plant, Liquidation Officials, doctors, physicists, and most of all, radiation physicists. Although Pripyat, a neighboring city to Chernobyl remains unmaintained, Chernobyl has been renovated and is now home to more than 500 permanent residents, including visitors to the Zone of Alienation who stay at a local lodge in the Chernobyl suburbs.

well basicly a space ship landed but they covered this up with a whole "nuclear reactor exploded" conspiracy so people are to scared to go and check out the remains of the space ship.. Its actually quite a clever ploy.

wow making up conspiracies is easier than I though :|

It's a town in Russia where, in 1986, there was a nuclear explosion that contaminated a large surrounding area. Google it and see if I'm right. ;)vgm007

Edit: and it's not in Russia, it's in the Ukraine.

But the real question is..

It's been 21 years.. Where are all the super heroes?

Actually, as a result of the meltdown, one of the reactors did explode. But unlike the popular belief, there was no mushroom cloud or anything..

They're in Russia, fighting communists.

I dont need to google it to know its not in russia.... its ukraine bud

It's a town in Russia where a nuclear reactor had a meltdown. . .it was one of the worst events in Russian history.Silver_Dragon17

Not Russia... in Ukraine and not Russian history... Ukraine although you can say Soviet history.. I hate people who calls Soviet Union Russia, they're completely different!

But the real question is..

It's been 21 years.. Where are all the super heroes?
