Prague, 28 July 2004 (RFE/RL) -- The catastrophe at Chornobyl in 1986, which sent a radioactive cloud over large parts of Europe, plus the partial meltdown of a U.S. nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island in 1979, were nails in the coffin of nuclear power.
But now there is suddenly talk of nuclear power as almost a "savior" that could help mankind out of its latest environmental dilemma.

 I was stationed in Idaho Falls, Idaho only for six months during my initial training in the Navy
That information is not classified, but people today still talk more about Three Mile Island (which was a relative non-event) compared to this disaster which was reported only as “an unfortunate incident”.
The fact is, despite the issues, it is cleaner and has less environmental impact than fossil fuel burning plants and hydro-electric plants; that is, when it is designed correctly – the Russian Chernobyl Reactor was so poorly designed compared to reactors in the West that it was an accident waiting to happen.
The radiation levels were so high in the reactor containment building that some of the dead bodies of the victims could not be removed for several days.
