And in the typically shortsighted TCS,
Michael Fumento, a writer who should know better, forgets the real impact of Chernobyl wasn't environmental, it was political -- it was the shove that helped bring the whole Soviet house of cards down. That the deaths from the accident were overplayed due to
ANTI-NUCLEAR HYSTERIA!!!!! doesn't mean the concern wasn't warranted, especially in a closed state that had already had
AN ANTHRAX DISASTER and
conducted all manner of nuclear tests with total recklessness. No Mike, the hysteria was VERY MUCH warranted.
