Natalia Manzurova, one of the few survivors among those directly involved in the long cleanup of Chernobyl, was a 35-year-old engineer at a nuclear plant in Ozersk, Russia, in April 1986 when she and 13 other scientists were told to report to the wrecked, burning plant in the northern Ukraine.

It was just four days after the world's biggest nuclear disaster spewed enormous amounts of radiation into the atmosphere and forced the evacuation of 100,000 people.

Manzurova and her colleagues were among the roughly 800,000 "cleaners" or "liquidators" in charge of the removal and burial of all the contamination in what's still called the dead zone....

..But experts say Fukushima is not as bad as Chernobyl.
Every nuclear accident is different, and the impact cannot be truly measured for years. The government does not always tell the truth. Many will never return to their homes. Their lives will be divided into two parts: before and after Fukushima. They'll worry about their health and their children's health. The government will probably say there was not that much radiation and that it didn't harm them. And the government will probably not compensate them for all that they've lost. What they lost can't be calculated...
What message do you have for Japan?
Run away as quickly as possible. Don't wait. Save yourself and don't rely on the government because the government lies. They don't want you to know the truth because the nuclear industry is so powerful.

You're not wrong about it being a disgrace, but can someone please confirm that Mox News items are legitimate, rather than just spoof / satire? I've been trying to check it out, and see whether the info is reported anywhere else, but my machine's playing me up. *Sulks*

Moxnews is shut down because he imposes his own brand "MoxNews" over someone else's vd that he re-posted. The materials are not of his creation nor production, had he just re-post without branding it with MoxNews, they would not have bothered him. But he keeps branding and they will continue to shut him down--they want their brand credited for their vd. Superimposing of his brand/tag/label "MoxNews" on someone else's product is inappropriate at the basic level of conduct--and he keeps doing it--he's been shut down several times for branding. He put in a lot of work finding those vds; I like the materials he spent a lot of time gathering, but finding them does not give him name-credit rights. The other vds people re-post here and there do not carry the "finder's" brand over the original source.

I hope he continues to post without branding.
