Chernobyl at 35

What does Chernobyl mean 35 years on? It should remind us that the suffering in its aftermath continues; that it's not just about who died then, or later, but the real, on-going suffering, even generations later. Chernobyl's technological failure warns us that this is not a technology we need. The human error that compounded the tragedy reminds us it is not one we can fully master. We need to clean up the mess left by Chernobyl and now Fukushima, not risk causing a newer, bigger one.
