World Nuclear Association about the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster.

Černobylio katastrofos minėjimas ir protestas prieš tris naujas AE ! - On April 26, 2010, citizens are protesting construction of three Russian nuclear power plants close to the border of Lithuania.

For three long days the soviet authorities kept us in the dark and did not reveal the facts about the nuclear power explosion. We learned about the disaster only when the Scandinavian countries registered some radioactive clouds coming their way and raised some questions. Yet, many of us to this day remember where we were and what we were doing on that fatal day, April 26, 1986. I was gardening with my mom, staying in the fresh year all day.
