Russian President Remembers Chernobyl




Greenpeace activists set up crosses marking the 25th anniversary of the nuclear explosion at Chernobyl, in Rome's ancient Circus Maximus on Tuesday
The crisis at Japan's Fukushima plant has triggered renewed protests over the safety of nuclear power
       
    This article is about how President Medevdev goes to a rememberance of the nuclear power plant failure that endangered thousands 25 years ago and calls for changes to how the nuclear situations of today will develop into the nuclear stationa of tomorrow. He met with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych at Chernobyl. The appearence was unplanned. Medevdev mentioned while at Chernobyl that today Countries need to tell their citizens the truth. He evidentaly said this because Soviet officials held off reporting on the catastrophe of Chernobyl. Also the nuckear protests have fired up around the world.

           It hink that it is good that Medevdev (I hate writing that, it is so hard to type) is considering nuclear problems and trying to find solutions. I thought it was weird that he didn't specify what the proposals he sent were, but I think they'll come out eventually, especially since there are many reports of worldwide protests.
