Chernobyl

Elephant's Foot, Chernobyl Reactor

Detroit Steve sent me a link to a good story about the melt down at Chernobyl. It's a good story because because it is short and it gives clear overview of how and why radiation is dangerous. It's also three years old, which means it was written before the new shield was erected over the site. The new shield is an enormous steel structure that was erected next door and slid into place over the old sarcophagus.
