n April 26, 1986 the worst nuclear reactor accident in history occurred. It contaminated three-quarters of Europe, and radioactive fall-out circled the globe. Many people have died and many will continue to die as a result of this tragedy. Many children were and will be born deformed as a result of the disaster.
Because of plans to build a new generation of nuclear reactors, this is timely program.
In this audio drama, three women and three men read the actual words of survivors: two nuclear physicists, one rocket scientist, a peasant, the wife of a fireman, and the mother of a young child.
A narrator opens and closes the program giving background information and the current situation of the Chernobyl reactor.
Based on the book VOICES FROM CHERNOBYL by Svetlana Alexievich, adapted by Susan Spencer Smith, with the permission of Dalkey Archive Press.
