Immer noch sterben Menschen in der Ukraine, aber auch den Nachbarstaaten an den Folgen der Havarie in Tschernobyl. Teile der Ukraine und Weißrusslands bleiben nach wie vor kontaminiert. Die Regierung in Kiew setzt aber trotzdem auf Atomkraft - aus Bequemlichkeit, kritisieren die Experten. 15 Reaktoren gibt es insgesamt in der Ukraine. Sie liefern die Hälfte der Elektrizität des osteuropäischen Landes. Für die ältesten Reaktoren, gebaut noch von den Sowjets, planen die ukrainischen Machthaber die Laufzeitverlängerungen. Die Umweltschützer schlagen Alarm.

KIEV, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Thirty years have passed since the Chernobyl power plant disaster, one of the world's worst nuclear accidents, which has caused widespread environmental pollution and left the areas around the plant uninhabitable for centuries or even millennia to come.

The anniversary of the catastrophe is another reminder that nuclear energy could become a major threat to the world if it is not handled with care and caution. Yet, many experts argue that currently, nuclear power is much safer than it was three decades ago and its role in Ukraine's energy mix is irreplaceable.

KIEV, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Tuesday marks the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in today's Ukraine, but many painful lessons have not been learned.

In March 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan was disabled after explosions, a top-level disaster.

Some Ukrainian nuclear safety experts believe that the Fukushima tragedy was preventable given the Chernobyl experience, but human negligence had left the plant unprepared for the earthquake and tsunami.

Les voix que nous entendons approchent Tchernobyl en racontant l’histoire qui a traversé leur famille ou leur corps, tentent de saisir la catastrophe par un film, un texte, des objets collectés dans les maisons évacuées.

CHERNOBYL, Ukraine — It was a fine spring night, people peacefully sleeping as weekday passed into weekend, until Chernobyl’s fourth nuclear reactor blew up.

Oleksandr Galuh recalls that night well.

“My mother woke up as the windows shattered,” Galuh, then a fourth-grader in Pripyat, a town not too far from Chernobyl, remembers. “She thought it was a thunderstorm.”
