Moller’s (2005 & 2007) was only talking about one bird species, the 60% reduction refers to a 28% v’s 40% seasonal return rate of Barn Swallow in the Chernobyl exclusion zone and a control area 250 km to the south east. It is not appropriate to extrapolate the breeding success of just Barn Swallows to judge the whole ecosystem there. Chernobyl is now the largest nature reserve in Europe, it has Lynx, Bear, European Bison, Przewalski’s horse and Eagle Ow. The sad fact revealed by the Chernobyl disaster is, humans are more destructive than radiation.

Yeah… that image is a fake, I saw it in an American newspaper. What I think the other Justin is saying, is that there is no “safe” form of high energy output. The meltdown of reactor building #4 is the only nuclear event to ever reach a 7 on the nuclear disaster scale. It had a meltdown due to is design. The cooling rods actually raised the temperature of the reactor initially. What happened is that the reactor kept getting hotter, so they inserted more cooling rods, and because of the design, raised the temperature even more, causing them to melt, and no more could be inserted. Then, the main steam valve burst, and it all went downhill from there.

Photoshopped for purposes of fear mongering. Look at the pixelation of the photo. Poor quality + large pixels = easy to photoshop. That is merely 3 frogs stacked on each other to look as though it were a 3 headed frog. Look closely and you can see all of their hind legs. God environmentalist zealots are gullible :p
“No more pollution! No more coal! No more fossil fuels!” Ok, how about nuclear energy that is far safer than all of the above, the most efficient, and almost no waste(the radioactive waste is recyclable…you can run it back through the plant over and over again until there is nothing left but H2O. But I didn’t suspect the leftists would tell ya that). “No! It’s a time bomb!” Blah blah blah. Like wind turbines won’t fall on people and kill hundreds in suburban areas, like hydro-electric dams haven’t failed on killed thousands…and Nuclear sites have only killed a few people if any at all? Hmm…makes ya wonder. But if the environmentalists had their way, all people would just die off to leave the earth to mother nature.

You enlightened a serious reality, it is a reminder that a nuclear timebomb can occur at a energy plant, if not proplerly maintained.

That frog sure gets around. He was seen in the UK back in 2004 at a nursery school.
