Chernobyl Questions

1) If animals are living in the outside villages, why can't humans?

2) If we are getting footage of Chernobyl for history specials now, does that mean it is safe if you stay temporarily?

3) Can Chernobyl ever recover and be a functioning town ever again?

4) What effects did this even have on the economy?

5) Has the radiation of Chernobyl affected other parts of the world severely?

Q and A for the Panel

How do you know it's safe to live in Black Creek Village?

If it is safe, why is the housing so cheap?

Can we presume it's safe because of the years between incidents including death, miscarriage, birth defect, or illness?

However has there been any unusual incidents in the Niagra Falls area?

How has this affected the ecosystem like plants or animals?

If the toxic chemicals do decompose, will we build on it again?

8-30-Catalyst Block 2

1) A blizzard caused all the water to go into the ground and then push up some of the waste causing it to ooze out of the ground and into creeks.

2) Cancer, liver damage, kidney damage, leukemia are all possibilities if you lived in the Love Canal area. Chemicals oozed out of the ground into people's basements and yards, exposing them to the chemicals.

3) Animals in the area probably were affected. I'm guessing animals died off and that means one animal doesn't get his food and he dies and it starts a chain reaction. Animals that drink in the creek or hunt in the fields nearby, have a high chance of being exposed to these chemicals.

Chemical Dispersants

Why is BP creating more problems with this toxic "solution"?

If it is 4x more toxic than oil, than what's the point of it?

Why is BP trying to hide information about chemical dispersant from us?
