Regardless of who is right or wrong, there is another tragedy here. Prof Mousseau has started working with the Hospital for Radiation Biology, in Kiev, on a long-term study of humans who live in the area: more than 11,000 adults and 2,000 children in the Narodichesky region, 50 miles from Chernobyl.

Prof Mousseau says that the incidence among locals of cancer, birth defects and reduced lifespan is alarmingly high.

"There is a growing mountain of information that all points to significant consequences to the human population of chronic radiation exposure," he warns. "What will be the consequences for the children of these children?"

Could we deal with a Chernobyl here in this country? I mean what would we do if one of our nuke plants blew it's top? I know, I know some will say it can't happen here but I'm not so sure of that. Are we willing to take the chance? I'd like to see us put our efforts in renewables, solar and wind.
But seriously what would we do???
