Chernobyl Day 2010

Greenpeace April 26 commemorates the twenty-fourth anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. Tonight on the 21 volunteers from Greenpeace will be at the Taverna del Maltese in via Nicolai 22 to Bari, to highlight the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, projecting images of the disaster occurred 24 years ago and by disseminating information on the topic nuclear power.

On April 26, 1986 Chernobyl occurred the most serious nuclear accident in history, with a violent explosion that released into the atmosphere hundred times the radioactivity released by the bombs atomic dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The radioactive cloud came up in Central Europe and Italy.

Twenty-four years after Chernobyl, the pro-nuclear propaganda continues to underestimate the effects of the Chernobyl disaster and the number of deaths caused accident. Unfortunately, the deaths were caused by the over two hundred thousand and none of them should be forgotten.

The pro-nuclear propaganda speaks of only 65 dead, barely referring to the number of workers and rescuers who died in the explosion. But the Russian Academy of Sciences shows that the estimates of the Chernobyl Forum, which showed nine thousand deaths, had been too cautious, and the confirmed deaths due to the Chernobyl accident are over two hundred thousand.

In 1987, the year after Chernobyl, over 80% of Italians voted against nuclear power. Following the results of the three proposed referendum, all nuclear power plants in Italy were closed.

The government intends to impose nuclear and Italy are preparing a campaign of misinformation about the risks and costs of this dangerous technology. So, not only shows disregard of the will expressed by the citizens, but also not to have learned nothing from past mistakes.

French EPR power stations that the government wants to build in Italy were declared deficient in the control system by the security authorities French, British and Finnish. Moreover, according to documents released by the French "Sortir du nucleaire", could be as dangerous as that of Chernobyl, because subject to the risk of similar incidents.
