It's not particularly relevant, but I thought it was interesting seeing the people living so close to the site of a nuclear detonation.

And they never have been able to keep people from staying in, or moving back into, the area around Chernobyl. There's an interesting documentary, "The Babushkas of Chernobyl" about some women who refused to leave.

  Meanwhile NGOs like the http://www.hilfe-tschernobyl.de/ http://www.hilfe-tschernobyl.de/ fund the removal of tumours of kids from Belarus who suffer due to the accident and support local hospitals and hospices where victims are being treated or live their last days.

    >tumours of kids from Belarus who suffer due to the accident Sounds like bullshit to me. There's no way to tell if it's due to the accident, and the statistics of such cases are not conclusive. And of course it's a German organization, which is a country known to be irrationally anti-nuclear, burning brown coal just to offset the closed nukes which had zero impact on the environment.
