Chernobyl 

Chernobyl cover German Greenpeace magazine  .

In 1996, I was part of the first official Greenpeace Mission going into the 10km Zone in Chernobyl / Pripyat.  An unforgettable and truly scary experience,

Fast Forward 25 years later Chernobyl is a brilliant Amazon/Netflix TV Miniseries .

A little background information

Super Gau / Worst Case Nuclear Accident

In the late 70s -Pro Nuclear Power scientists, companies and government officials claimed that the chance of a Super Gau/ Worst Case Nuclear Accident happening, would be estimated anywhere from 1: 10 Million up to a 1 : 100 Million chance per year and plant to happen.

Beginning of 1980s, six years before the Chernobyl Super Gau estimates had arrived at a possible Super Gau ratio of  1: 10.000, which was a 1000 times more and a tiny little bit more realistic .

And finally, after Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima 25 years later in 2011- we arrived in REALITY.

Today serious experts are talking about the possibility of a Super Gau/ Worst Case Nuclear Accident every 10-25 years

There are about 450 Nuclear Power Plants worldwide.
