40 years ago the catastrophe of #Chernobyl happened

After countless accidents in #nuclear power plants it proved that #nuclearenergy is deadly

And that most governments will lie to you about dangers as it happened all over #Europe, not only in parts of the #sovietunion

Vast parts of Europe are still contaminated

Millions suffered & are still suffering

But as humans are not good in identifying invisible #dangers some are still trying to get nuclear energy back

But #resistance is possible
