Chernobyl at 25

Every nuclear reactor is not an accident waiting to happen

firestorm2The ANS Public Information Committee has published a set of slides on occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl accident (April 26, 2011).

The slides are available in Powerpoint and PDF format.

The slides were prepared by a group of nuclear engineers and public relations specialists based on the extensive materials organized by ANS for the 20th anniversary.

Anti-nuclear groups are gearing up to use the 25th mark to get into the press with their message. They are betting they can “tag” every reactor with the “Chernobyl” legacy and that the news media will buy it.

These slides are useful to share with editors and reporters as they are specifically written in plain English and for use by the news media. Feel free to down load these resources for use in your community.
