Slate photo essay – Children of Chernobyl

A photo essay on the children of Chernobyl at Slate.

We’ll not reproduce them here; those who need reminding that nuclear power – and other complex systems – are accompanied by increased risk where increases in complexity are not accompanied by off-sets in safety – especially

where the basic materials are inherently dangerous – should, of course, make a point of taking a look.

We suspect, however, that at firms which operate nuclear power plants – the link to this photo essay – if anyone is aware of it – is not being circulated to all employees with an admonition that they redouble their efforts to keep things safe.
